poker game
Bluffing for chips
A poker game is a session of poker—either a casual gathering where friends play for low stakes or bragging rights, or a more serious affair with significant money involved.
The phrase often implies the social event as much as the card game itself: Thursday night is poker game night at Dave's place.
A poker game can also refer to figurative strategic maneuvering: The negotiations turned into a high-stakes poker game.
