One of the most typical games of poker is "Five draw" poker. In this poker game each gambler usually first places an entry bet, termed in Texas Holdem poker "Ante". Then each player is being dealt with 5 cards. After each player sees his cards there is another round of betting. Each player can raise, call, fold or check. Raise is a term for adding more money to the pot, raising the stakes.
Call is term for meeting the raise, meaning that if the poker player before has raised the bet you must call it in order to play this hand of poker.
You can also fold if you don't think there's anything you can do with that hand, meaning you'll be forfeiting that hand of poker.
Check is what you call in case neither of the poker players before you raised the bet and you're choosing to do the same, passing the option to the next player.
After the first round of cards is dealt and the first round of bets has already taken place, you can change any of your cards, even all of them (even though it's a highly un-recommended poker decision).
