ATC is a poker abbreviation that stands for “Any Two Cards.” ATC means just what it sounds like – that, in the situation at hand, a player could be making a play with any two cards in the deck.

You’ll also hear people use ATC a lot when discussing tournament play, especially sit and go play, as it’s often proper strategy when stacks are short to be raising every single possible hand in a given spot. This is especially true in play from later seats.

Knowing whether or not an opponent is capable of making ATC plays is a critical skill. Pay attention to what hands people go to showdown with to get a better idea of whether or not a player is capable of holding ATC.
