## Definition
A Bomb Pot Is A Special Hand In Which Every Player Puts An Agreed Amount Into The Pot Before The Deal And The Hand Skips Preflop Betting, Going Straight To The Flop. Bomb Pots Create Large Multiway Pots And Are Often Played With A Double Board, Where The Pot Is Split Between The Winners Of Each Board.

- [Straddle](https://smarter.poker/glossary/straddle) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/straddle.md)): A Straddle Is An Optional Blind Bet, Usually Twice The Big Blind, Posted Before The Cards Are Dealt By The Player To The Left Of The Big Blind. It Doubles The Stakes For That Hand, And The Straddler Acts Last Before The Flop. Many Rooms And Clubs Also Allow Button Or Mississippi Straddles Under House Rules.
- [Blinds](https://smarter.poker/glossary/blinds) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/blinds.md)): Blinds Are Forced Bets Posted Before The Cards Are Dealt By The Two Players To The Left Of The Button: The Small Blind And The Big Blind, Which Is Usually Twice As Large. Blinds Create A Pot Worth Fighting For On Every Hand. Stakes Are Named After Them, So A 1/2 Game Has A 1 Small Blind And A 2 Big Blind.
- [Run It Twice](https://smarter.poker/glossary/run-it-twice) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/run-it-twice.md)): Run It Twice Is An Agreement Between All In Players To Deal The Remaining Board Cards Two Times And Split The Pot, With Half Going To The Winner Of Each Run. It Does Not Change Anyone's Expected Value, But It Reduces Variance, So A Big Pot Is Less Likely To Be Decided Entirely By One Card.
- [Wet Board](https://smarter.poker/glossary/wet-board) ([Markdown](https://smarter.poker/glossary/wet-board.md)): A Wet Board Is A Flop Or Turn With Many Straight And Flush Possibilities, Such As J T 9 With Two Hearts. Equities Run Closer On Wet Boards, So Strong Hands Bet Larger To Charge Draws, And Ranges Change Sharply From Street To Street. The Opposite Is A Dry Board, Where Few Draws Exist And Small Bets Are Common.
