Passed Pot ( poker
)
1) In a double-limit
draw (high) game, a pot that no one opened, and is consequently being re-dealt.
The first passed pot usually has an extra ante by each player. The second
passed pot usually has an extra ante and is played at a higher limit. the
third and all subsequent passed pots usually stay at the same limit as the
second, with no further antes.
2) In any draw game with minimum opening requirements (such as jacks or better),
a pot that was not opened either because no one had openers or no one chose
to open. (Sometimes pots don't get opened even when players have openers,
because some players like to pass good hands in early position, hoping that
someone else will open so that they can raise.)
