Sell
To sell a hand is to bet less than the maximum with a very strong hand in a spread-limit game, in the hope that more players will call. It is a form of underplaying.
The simple explanation
In a spread-limit game, you may bet within a range. With a strong hand, you may bet a small amount to attract callers who would fold to a big bet.
A closer look
Selling a hand works when opponents call small bets with weak hands. The aim is to get more total money from several callers than from one. It is a way to apply the idea of value betting. The risk is that you give draws a cheap price.
A practical example
In a $2-$6 spread-limit game, a player with a set bets only $2, hoping that several players call.
