The act of raising or increasing something in response to another's raising or increase.
From counter- + raising (present participle of raise), from Old Norse reisa. Often used in contexts like bidding, salaries, or defensive tactics.
In poker, counterraising (re-raising after someone else has raised) is a sophisticated strategy that can signal strength or bluff weakness, making it a psychological game within the card game itself.
