All-in

Betting every chip you have in front of you.

Level 1

Also: all in, shove, shoving

Going all-in means committing your whole stack to the pot. Once you’re all-in you can’t be forced to put in more, and you stay in the hand until the showdown. If opponents keep betting, the extra chips go into a side pot that you can’t win.

In No-Limit games you can move all-in at any time it’s your turn. The slang term is “shoving” or “jamming”.
