Verb

To offer to take a specified action on the condition that an opponent will take another specified action in return.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Example: A player may proposition an opponent in a draw game by offering to call the opponent's raise under the condition that the opponent draws at least two cards. While possible in any kind of game, propositions are most common in draw games because proposing the number of cards a player will draw gives propositions a flexibility that they do not have in other games.

EXAMPLE: "I always decline when an opponent propositions me. I think it takes away a lot of the fun of the game."
