Overs ( poker )
1) Over blind (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.); usually preceded by the. "Who's got the
overs?" means "Who put in the over blind?" (and
usually implies that the person who is supposed to put it in
didn't, as a remark directed to the dealer of the current hand
in a round from home).
2) In a two-pair hand, the higher pair; often in the situation
in which two players both have the same lower pair. For example,
Emilie has 9s over 8s and Chloe has 10s over 8s. Emilie says,
"Your overs got me."
