Play Off the
Blind ( poker )
1) In a winner blind game, a player wanting to leave just
after winning a pot usually gets dealt one more hand so that he can exercise
the option to have last action on the hand. That is, the winner of the previous
pot is supposed to be dealt a hand. To play this one more hand is to play
off the blind.
2) Similarly, in a traveling blind game, a player wanting to leave the table
(for a break, for example) might wait until she has taken both (or all three,
in a three-blind traveling blind game) blinds before leaving. To do this is
also to play off the blind.
