An essential part of playing Poker is knowing and understanding
the stakes for the game being played.
The rules relating to antes and maximum / minimum bets
and raises determine whether or not you can afford to
play in a game. In addition, they will affect the way
you play a hand, or indeed an entire session.
In modern Poker, virtually all high and moderate stakes
games are played with “table stakes.”
Table stakes ensure that a player can never be forced
out of a game because they lack the financial resources
to bet, even though they may have a winning hand.
If a player has gone all in, i.e., they have no more
cash or chips, subsequent bets are placed into a side
pot. If the all-in player wins, they collect the contents
of the original pot. Meanwhile the remaining players
battle for the side pot. Naturally, if one of these
players beats the remaining players as well as the player
who has gone all-in they take the lot, and the player
who went all in is out of the game.
