THE FIRST BET IS A BET, THE SECOND ONE IS A RAISE

Why on earth do all the people say "reraise" to a 2-bet? Why do people say "raise" to a 1-bet? You suck?

uhh i thought if you open the pot you are raising, I think everybody does this and if i were to say "bet" at 1-2 and make it 10$ that would sound dumb imo

The first bet is actually the raise from $0.

Why are we talking like this?

people just aren't familiar enough with poker when they do this.

it's because they feel that the initial bet is a "raise" because it's raising (increasing) the already existing pot. This does tilt me a bit when pretty experienced players that should know better do it, but it doesn't deserve a thread.

So you fail.
