Re: How does poker insurance work?

Lol. Perhaps you heard some bizarre home game rule, but "insurance" is a blackjack thing, not a poker thing.

It is a poker thing too. Doyle Brunson mentions this in SS. Basically it is a side bet on whether or not your hand will win. Say someone calls your all-in and you are a favorite to win. You can "insure" your hand by making this side bet, but you will get less than true odds, so it's not a good bet.
Edit: damn you guys are fast!
