Break For Action ( poker )


In lowball, throw away part of a good hand to get a play from someone who would otherwise fold.
"Come on, call the raise, and I'll break for action." The preceding might be heard in a no-limit lowball game in the following situation.
One player has raised. The opener does not want to call because he needs two cards, which is not a good gamble against
what might well be a pat hand. The raiser wants a call from the other because he has the potential of winning a very large
pot as opposed to just a small pot if the other folds, so he tries to entice the opener, implying that if the opener draws two,
he will break his pat hand and draw one.
