all in
Betting every chip
All in means fully committed, holding nothing back.
In poker, going all in means betting everything you have on a single hand, which extends to any situation where you risk everything: We're going all in on this startup.
Separately, all in means exhausted: After the hike, I was all in.
In British usage, all-in describes prices that include everything: an all-in rate.
