Pay Off - To call a bet when you are pretty sure you are beat in a hand.
A term usually used at the end of a hand, “paying off” an opponent is sometimes justified when the pot is large enough
even though you are pretty convinced your hand is not good enough to win.
Sometimes players pay off their opponent merely out of curiosity; they invest a bet they know is lost to see how and
what kind of hands their opponents are playing. A typical pay off comment you might hear spoken would go something
like, “He played it exactly like he made the
full house, but I had the nut
flush so I paid him off just in case.”
Players who can’t stand the thought of being bluffed
out of a hand will pay off more than they should.
