A check-raise is a poker tactic used by a player to first check their hand (pass the action to the next player), and then, after another player makes a bet, to raise that bet. This strategy can serve multiple purposes, such as: 1. **Building the Pot**: If a player believes they have a strong hand, they may check to induce a bet from an opponent and then raise to increase the size of the pot.
