This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
FOLD - To decline to call a bet, thus dropping out of a hand.
BET - To put money into the pot, pursuant to the rules of the game, thus maintaining a chance of winning the pot.
PAY OFF - Calling a bet with little expectation of winning, unless the opponent is bluffing.
