Sit-out

Basic Definition

A sit-out refers to a temporary pause in the game at a poker table, where a player does not take any action.

Specific Situation

• If you leave the table to eat during live poker, you will be forced to sit out from the next hand.

Important Information

• In a tournament, blinds and antes are forcibly paid even while sitting out, so sitting out should be avoided.

Examples of Term Usage
