Back Into

Created by BooG690 on September 14, 2009

Definition

1) When a player backs into a pot, he wins a pot with a hand that would have folded to any action. 2) When a player backs into a draw, he completes a backdoor draw.

Example

1) I missed my ace-high diamond flush, but I won the pot checking down the river and beating my opponent's busted king-high flush. 2) I had a pair of aces on the flop, but backed into a flush after two hearts came on the turn and river.
