All-in

To go 'all-in' is to bet or call with all the chips in front of you. As you cannot dig into your pocket for more money during a hand, this is also the maximum you can bet in a hand.

In the case where even all of your chips are not enough to call your opponent's bet or raise, an additional side pot will be created in which you have no interest. If you win that hand, you can only take the money from the main pot.

Sun Tzu said: "To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill."

Poker is an awesome card game where you can win without a showdown. Another way to win without a fight in online poker is to play at a poker room with an excellent rewards program. At PokerStars VIP Club, you can earn back a large chunk of the fees and rake you pay to the poker room back into your pockets in the form of cash bonuses, tournament buy-ins, gift certificates, VIP freerolls and much more!
