Pass the Buck ( poker )

 

In a game in which the players deal for themselves (as opposed to one dealt by a house dealer), refuse to deal when it is one's turn to deal, passing the deck instead to the next player to the left. In some home games, rather than each player anteing, the dealer antes for all; in such a game, a player is not permitted to pass the deal, nor can he do so in a game with traveling blinds.
