Short - Poker (gambling)


1) Low on funds. 2) Shy of a complete bet. "Who' s short in the pot?" implies that someone has not put in a full bet. "He' s short $10" means that he was not able to call the full bet, and implies that a side pot will be generated. 3) Be unable to pay time due to having insufficient chips (in respect to a certain cutoff point established by the house, usually equal to only a few chips, as for example less than $4 in a game with a $20 buy-in). 4) Not put the full amount of the bet in the pot. "Who shorted the pot?"
