To jam in poker means to go all-in—pushing your entire stack into the pot in a single bet. It’s a slang term used across all poker formats and is especially common in tournament play or short-stacked situations.
Jamming can be a bold move with a strong hand, a semi-bluff, or a last-resort shove when you’re low on chips. It creates maximum pressure—your opponent either calls for all their chips or folds. No middle ground.
Jamming is all about maximum commitment. Whether you’re trapping with aces or bluffing with air, a jam says: “I’m all in—your move.”
