vbet10:What does check raise mean?

Check-raise, the English name is check-raise, means checking first, “showing weakness” in front of other players, luring other players in and then raising again, in order to maximize profits.

Check-raise is equivalent to a combination punch, which is a play and strategy of Texas Hold’em poker.

vbet10 gives an example: When it is a player’s turn to act first, he chooses to check directly. After waiting for other players to place their bets, the player who checked before raises. This process of checking first and then raising is called Card raise.

The player who checks raises usually has a strong hand, but does not rule out the possibility of bluffing.
