    What is Limp in poker?

    Limping means entering the pot preflop by calling the big blind instead of raising. In most spots it is a weak play: it neither builds a pot with strong hands nor takes the initiative. An "over-limp" is limping behind another limper.

    • English term: Limp
    • Category: Betting
    • In short: Entering the pot by just calling the big blind, without raising.
    • Example from the table: BB = 1 and the UTG player just puts in 1 instead of raising to 2.5 — that is a limp.
