Definition of Bet Into in the game of poker.  King explains the meaning and provides an example.Let's say that you are playing in a $1/$2 No Limit Hold'em game at your local casino. You have the button. Action folds around to you and you look down at A/A, so you put in a standard 3x pre-flop raise. The small blind folds, while the big blind decides to call after a bit of thought.

The flop comes 9-9-K. The big blind leads out with a bet, which thoroughly confuses you. Did he protect his blind with a garbage hand and hit trips? Did he hit a pair of Kings? Is he bluffing?

Your read of this player is that he is tight/aggressive, so you are pretty sure that he has trip nines but you decide to put in a raise to snuff out any bluffs. Your opponent immediately reaches into his stack and counts out a re-raise. Despite the fact that you are holding Aces, you muck your cards, certain that he is holding a Nine. Your read turns out to be correct, as your opponent turns over 9-8 and takes down the pot.
