Overbet - Poker (gambling) and peytral (iou)


Overbet - Poker (gambling)


1) In a no-limit game, make a bet greatly out of proportion to the size of the pot. 2) A bet greatly out of proportion to the size of the pot. 3) In pot-limit Games, a bet made that is larger than the size of the pot (and which must be counted down by the dealer, so that it can be cut off at the rounded-up size of the pot). For example, if the bring-in in a particular game is $25, and the pot contains $480 at a particular stage, no more than $500 can be bet at that point; any bet greater than that amount is an over bet.
