What does fold mean in poker?

Answer 1

It means you give up the hand and forfeit all the money you bet. In effect, you admit that you cannot win the hand and are not willing to bet any more money.

Answer 2

It means to check (ie, make a bet of nothing) and fold your cards to any actual bet by another player behind you. If everyone checks around, you get to see the next card, otherwise you drop out without risking anything further on the hand.
