Pass ( poker )

1) Decline to bet. This is not exactly the same as check, because in a blind game or bet-or-fold game, if you pass on the first round of betting, you must throw your cards away. 2) Decline to call a bet, at which point, you must throw your cards away and you have no further interest in the pot. If someone bets, and you say, "I pass," you are out of the pot. 3) Loosely, check.
