point is to fold.
All in:
In case the player before you has bet and
you do not have sufficient chips to cover
the bet, you have the option to put in all
your chips and call ALL –IN. So
basically you will then contest only that
portion of the pot that your money
covers. The
remaining players can still
continue betting with a separate pot that
is created.
String raise:
It may
look dramatic but it is not
something that is accepted on a poker
table. If you intend to raise a bet, you
need to call raise, you cannot say, I call
your
bet and while stretching the
sentence say and raise you another xxx
amount. This is considered as unfair
tactics and in most casinos it you try this
approach you would be called for string
betting and only the cal amount would be
accepted. If you intend to raise you need
to say it upfront.
Splashing:
Avoid splashing
your chips on the table
where there is a possibility of them
getting mixed with the main bet. Try and
place the chips you intend to play in a
neat pile and push it gently forward and
let the dealer pull them in.
