I saw a broadcast of (I think) a European Poker Tour "heat" on TV
They appeared to use "Pass" where I would have expected "Fold".
This usage was by the commentators and by the dealers.

I did not hear the work "check" at all -- players signifying check by the usual table tap.

I this Pass/Fold usage common in Europe, is it a casino rule thing, or a television thing?

Tks,

Bizarre hand? Post it in Hand of the Day!!
