So how does the betting work? In most games you must at least ante something just to get cards dealt. After receiving cards players have to make a choice. You can call. If you call you have to make a bet at least equal to the previous bet made by another rplayer. 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 are out of the game if you fold. You lose you bet and any chance of winning. If it is evident that you will hardly be able to form a good hand you’d better fold. Online First Nations Poker Ante.
