Passed Pot (poker)

 

1) In a double-limit draw (high) game, a pot that no one opened, and is consequently being re-dealt. The first passed pot usually has an extra ante by each player. The second passed pot usually has an extra ante and is played at a higher limit. the third and all subsequent passed pots usually stay at the same limit as the second, with no further antes.
2) In any draw game with minimum opening requirements (such as jacks or better), a pot that was not opened either because no one had openers or no one chose to open. (Sometimes pots don't get opened even when players have openers, because some players like to pass good hands in early position, hoping that someone else will open so that they can raise.)
