Insurance
A side agreement paying the all-in favorite if an unlucky card arrives.
In depth
In poker, insurance is an off-table side agreement where an all-in player, holding a strong favorite position, secures a payout from a third party if an unlikely card causes them to lose the main pot. This arrangement operates independently of official table action and serves solely as a risk-management tool, separate from standard betting rules and the primary pot.
