Check and Re-raise?

Hello,

I’ve got something in mind. Supposing, I’d be playing with a few of my friends soon. Then, during the bet, one of my friends would check, eventually the next person would raise, and after which would get back to him and then would actually re-raise. What do you think, is this something possible? I believe that once you check and someone puts in a bet, you can only call that bet and you cannot re-raise at all for you have already checked. Am I right?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Mark,

Unfortunately, you are incorrect. Check-raising is a perfectly acceptable move in poker now. In the past this move was frowned upon, and even outlawed in casinos. Now the move is not only accepted, but a move that ever poker player needs to develop. Check-raising allows you to extract extra bets from people when you have big hands and to get free cards when you are drawing.
