The term 'Poker Table Payment' refers to the amount of money that must be paid before a game of poker can begin. The payment is known as an ante, which is a four-letter word. An ante is a small amount of money that each player puts into the pot before the cards are dealt. This money is used to create an incentive for players to stay in the game and to encourage betting. The amount of the ante is usually determined by the stakes of the game.
