I’m just a starting poker player and as of now I’m not yet so sure about some stuff particularly about check and raise in the same round of betting in regular poker. I know it’s not possible to check and raise in the same round of betting in regular games, but how about in Holdem?
Thanks!

Clark,
A check-raise is not only a common occurrence in Holdem, it is an encouraged tool for players to develop. When you are trying to extract money from an overly aggressive player, then checking to this player to induce a bet can be the proper play. You can then raise them to force more money into the pot or maybe even force them to fold if they were bluffing.
Also, whoever told you that you cannot check-raise during other forms of poker was mistaken. While it used to be frowned upon to do a check-raise and even banned in some casinos, the practice is now considered a standard part of playing poker.
