Like the others have stated, the cutoff is the seat just to the right
of the button. The reason it is called the cutoff is because the
player in this seat can raise causing the button to fold ("cutting off"
the button) allowing the player in this seat the privilege of being the
last to act on subsequent betting rounds. I believe poker pro Bob
Ciaffone first coined this term.
