When you feel you have the best starting hand. raising in poker is about knowing your opponent and how he perceives you. Remember, the most strength in poker comes from acting last. If your opponent is weak, you can use this information to raise the pot and get him to back down. But if you are first to act, then you need a stronger hand to raise him because you dont yet know how he is going to react. If he re-raises you, you are going to find yourself in a difficult spot.
You bet on your hand, if you think you can win the pot you bet on your hand.

Technically you can't "make" your opponent do anything in poker. It is his or her choice whether to call a bet or not. You can make it cost him all his chips to call your bet if he chooses to call it.e.g. I have $100 in chips. You raise a bet to $200. I now have a choice--to call or not to call. I I choose to call then, yes, I am all in. But I have the right to fold my hand.
Your best bet is to enter the Freerolls if you don't want to deposit any money. They are tough but don't let that stop you. It's a good way to learn how to play poker without risking any money. All the poker rooms I have visited all offer freerolls. The payouts vary but it takes time to raise a decent bankroll. Good luck and have fun!
