Allstanding

Allstanding refers to a specific arrangement in certain card games, most notably in poker variations like Texas Hold'em and Omaha. It describes a situation where every player remaining in a hand has the option to bet or fold. This typically occurs after all community cards have been dealt and all players have had a chance to act on their final betting round. The term highlights the fact that no player has been eliminated from the current hand due to folding.

In a typical poker game, players are dealt private cards and then community cards are revealed. After each betting round, players can choose to bet, call another player's bet, raise their bet, or fold their hand. When all players have had an opportunity to bet or fold and all active players have opted to continue, the situation is described as "allstanding." This means that all remaining players are still in contention for the pot. The game then proceeds to the showdown, where players reveal their hands to determine the winner. The concept of allstanding is important for understanding betting structures and hand progression in these games.
