Action Any betting or the opportunity to bet. So, in a poker context, you might say ‘the action at the fi nal table was intense’, or ‘is it my action?’ (meaning ‘is it my turn to act?’). If you’re always betting and raising, you might get known as an ‘action player’.

All-in Betting all your chips on a single hand puts you all-in. This entitles you to see all the community cards and take part in the showdown. If you have the winning hand, you can win up to the amount you went all-in for from each player. The all-in is also used for situations where a player in a hand loses connection to the server.
