All-in
1 min read
In poker, to bet all of your chips in any one hand.
In gambling, particularly in poker, the term "all-in" refers to a player betting all of their remaining chips or money on a single hand. When a player goes all-in, they are fully committing their entire stack to the current pot, and they cannot make any further bets unless they win the hand and receive more chips. This move can be a strategic decision, often used to either bluff opponents or to maximize potential winnings when a player believes they have a strong hand. If other players wish to continue in the hand, they must match the all-in bet with their own chips, which can lead to a larger pot if multiple players are involved.
