Allows a player to participate in the game by following the actions of the main players on the table and following their hands.
As a Bet Behind player, you automatically follow the actions of the main player, unless they split or double and the following player doesn't have enough money.
If the main player doubles, the following player pulls and stops; in the case of a split, the following player follows only the right main hand.
Insurance is not available for Bet Behind players.
