What is a raise in poker?

[Potuse]

In poker, a "raise" occurs when a player increases the amount of the previous bet made during a round of betting. This can be used as a strategy to bluff or to signal strength in one's hand. The player making the raise must put in at least as much as the previous bet, and can put in more if desired. The other players must then either match the raise (by putting in the same amount) or fold (give up their hand and exit the round of betting)

A raise in poker refers to an increase in the size of a wager that has already been placed during a specific betting round. A player raises in an effort to enhance the stakes and persuade their opponents to match or exceed the current amount.

It involves putting more chips or money into the pot than the previous bettor or the current bet amount. Raising is a strategic move used to either increase the size of the pot or to induce other players to fold their hands.
