Limp means to just call in an unraised pot on the first betting round. It’s typically considered a weak play. It’s generally accepted that players should mostly either raise or fold preflop when the action is folded around to them in an unopened pot. If we are the first player to limp into the pot it’s referred to as an open limp. If a player has already limped before us a limp is referred to as an over limp or limp behind.
