Splashing the pot refers to spilling chips over the poker table rather than placing them neatly in the middle. When large amount of chips are wagered, it’s considered good etiquette to try and keep the chips in neat piles. Shoving our stack violently towards the centre of the table while watching chips fly everywhere is referred to as splashing the pot and is considered bad poker etiquette.
