What is a Walk?
In poker, a walk happens when all players fold to the big blind, allowing the big blind to automatically win the pot. This scenario means no further action is required from the big blind to claim the blinds and any antes already on the table.
Why Does it Matter?
Walks can signal the game’s overall tone—indicating either a cautious approach from players at the table or a missed opportunity for someone with a strong hand in the big blind hoping for action.
Frequent walks suggest a tighter, more passive game dynamic. Conversely, rare walks often point to an aggressive playing field where players are willing to challenge for pots more frequently.
