Hold'em - Betting

When you make a bet you are letting the other players know that you think you have the best hand and that you’re willing to wager money on it.

If someone else bets when you are holding an inferior hand, they may force you to fold. As a new player it is typically better to bet when you have a premium hand and fold with weak ones.

As your skill improves, you will be able to make some adjustments so other players can’t read you so easily.
