Over Blind ( poker )
1) Put in a blind when one is already present. In a traveling
blind game, this could mean someone putting in an optional blind
in addition to the mandatory blinds. In a game without mandatory
blinds, this would be blinding a pot (putting in a blind) after
someone else has killed it. (To put in an over blind is sometimes
called to kill.) Sometimes called go the overs.
2) The blind put in by the person who over blinds. In a 3-3-6
traveling blind game ($12 limit or $12 minimum bet no-limit),
John might put in $12 before getting his cards. He has doubled
the limit (or the minimum bet) to $24, and he gets last action
before the draw. Someone might say, "John acts last; he
has the over blind." Also straddle, for both meanings.
