Responds to a bluff, maybe (6)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for raises that I've seen before include "Lifts or elevates" , "Takes from a lower to a higher position" , "Salary increases" , "Increase the amount of a poker bet" , "Lifts or brings up" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
