Types of Betting Action -
Opening bets - The first player to put money into the pot is opening the action.
Calling - Someone who calls is someone who matches the amount already bet so he can continue to play.
Rising - Someone who rises is increasing the amount of the bet. Mostly games have a limit on how many times a pot can be raised into. To stay in the hand, other players have to call all the raises too.
Checking - Someone checks when they decide not to bet.
