Limp / Open limp (poker)

Also: Limp, Open limp, Limp in

Poker term

Entering the pot by calling the BB instead of raising.

Limping when no one has raised is an open limp. In 6-handed cash games it is almost never used outside the SB. When someone limps, your default is raise or fold; overlimp is the baseline only on the BTN (in the CO, fold is the baseline and an overlimp is also fine).
