Jammed Pot
A jammed pot is a pot that has been raised the maximum number of times. In limit games, the raises are capped, so a jammed pot is a pot where nobody can raise any more.
The simple explanation
When players keep re-raising until the cap is reached, the pot is jammed. It grows quickly and usually means that several players have strong hands or want to be aggressive.
A closer look
In a limit game, a jammed pot usually means that you are getting very good pot odds, but also that the opponents probably have good hands. A player with the nuts will often keep raising to jam the pot. Be careful to count the raises, because the room's rule decides when the cap applies, and a heads-up pot can have no cap in some rooms.
A practical example
In a limit game, a player with the nuts raises, another re-raises, and the pot is jammed until the cap.
