Check ( poker )



1) Make no bet, but still hold your cards. You can check, and then call a later bet, fold when the action gets back to you, or raise.
Technically, to check is to make a bet of nothing.

2) A card room chip; often plural.
When a player cries out "Checks!", he is signaling to a floorperson his intention to buy more chips.
The term check is generally limited to card rooms and casinos, while chip is more heard in home games, though common in both.
