What is the term for the amount of money a player must contribute to the pot in order to be dealt into a hand?

[Hasan77]

The term I'm referring to is "the ante" or "ante." The ante is a forced bet that each player must make before receiving their cards in certain poker variants. It ensures that there is a minimum amount of money in the pot from the beginning of each hand. The size of the ante is typically predetermined and remains constant throughout the game or for a specific period of time.

The term you are referring to is the "buy-in". The buy-in is the amount of money that a player must contribute to the pot in order to be dealt into a hand. It is the minimum amount required to participate in a particular game or tournament. The buy-in can vary depending on the stakes and structure of the game, and it is usually agreed upon before the start of the game or tournament.
