I'm playing poker with my friends and we're discussing the rules. One of them mentioned a '$20 buy-in', but I'm not sure what that means. Can someone explain what a buy-in is in the context of poker?

    You have the option to buy in with a range of 20 big blinds to 50 big blinds.

    The buy-in limits ensure that the games remain fair and balanced.

    At a $0.50/$1.00 table, this translates to a minimum buy-in of $21.

    Conversely, the maximum amount you can buy in with at such a table is $51.
