So how does the betting work? In most games you must at least ante something just to get cards dealt. There are three options available for the players after the deal of the cards. If you make a bet, which is at least equal to the previous bet you call. The Raise option means that you make the highest bet on the table. After you call the other amount it is basically up to you how much you want to bet. Let's take the example from above: somebody on the table raises a dollar, you have to call him with a dollar and then you can raise whatever you want. Most tables have a raising limit which depends on the minimum table limit. You can fold. In this case you lose your bet and any chance of winning the pot. This should be done if you think your hand has no chance of winning anyway. Internet Liar's Poker Cards.
