Play Behind ( poker )
1) The situation in which a player has called for chips, say
from a chip person, and has not yet received those chips, but
can have action on that amount of money in case he gets involved
in a pot. A player might say before receiving his cards, "Dealer,
I'm playing $100 behind."
2) Agree to call any bet, as if the player had an unlimited
stack. If the bet is more than his chips, he buys more as needed.
This is not normally permitted in a table stakes game, but is
sometimes found in private games.
