The seat to the right of the button.
The cutoffs action is immediately before the button. Scott, could I also politely suggest that questions like this be posted to the Beginners forum. [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] |

Re: what is the \"cutoff\"?
thank you for the explanation of the cutoff. why is it called such?
as for your other comment, I do not see a "beginners" section, so "general" seemed to be the appropriate place. -Scott |

Re: what is the \"cutoff\"?
I too have wondered why it is called the cutoff.
The Beginners forum is located at the bottom left, just above Books/Software. |

Subject: Re: Cutoff View: Complete Thread (6 articles) Original Format Newsgroups: rec.gambling.poker Date: 2001-01-21 23:12:02 PST 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.
