You can only check when no one else has bet.

Example:

P1: bet 10

P2: can't check because he must either call 10, fold, or raise.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P1: Bet 0 (zero) - this is called check in poker.

P2: Now P2 can check (call the zero) as-well or bet. P2 bets 10.

P1: Now can no longer check because he now must call the 10, raise the 10, or fold.

Hope this helped.

Any questions? Just ask.

Like if you're the big blind and no one folded and/or if the ones that stayed in called, you have the option of checking. Checking is when you can play a hand for free. If you can check, you can raise.

check if youre going to lose money by betting, bet if you will lose money by checking... its quite simple really
