| wait for the big blind |
| (v phrase) Most brick-and-mortar cardrooms and all online cardrooms do not let a new player (new to the particular game) be dealt in until it is his turn to put in the big blind, supposedly to prevent his getting any "free" hands.

In such a case, a player must come in on the big blind, or, if not in the big blind position, post to receive a hand; otherwise, he must wait for the big blind. |
