Easy "all-in"

Abstract

Apparatus for tracking “all-in” bets in a game of poker with a set of markers. The first marker of the set of markers identifies an “all-in” pot a player is playing for. The second marker of the set of markers identifies the player that is playing for the “all-in” pot. There is at least one similar identifier on the first and second markers of the set to indicate that they are related to each other.

1 . Apparatus for tracking “all-in” bets in a game of poker comprising:
 a set of at least a first marker and a second marker; 
 the first marker of said set of markers for identifying an “all-in” pot a player is playing for; 
 the second marker of said set of markers for identifying the player that is playing for the “all-in” pot; and 
 at least one similar identifier on the first and second markers of said set to indicate that they are related to each other. 
 
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said as least one similar identifier is a number. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said first and second markers are similar in size. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein there are at least two markers in said set of markers. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said set of markers are similar in size and shape to chips being used for placing bets in the pot. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein there may be as many sets of markers as there are players less one set. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 6  wherein each set of markers has an identifier with a different value. 
     
     
         8 . A method of tracking all in bets in a game of poker comprising:
 providing a set of at least a first marker and a second marker;   using the first marker of said set of markers for identifying an “all-in” pot a player is playing for;   using the second marker of said set of markers for identifying the player that is playing for the “all-in” pot; and   having at least one similar identifier on the first and second markers of said set to indicate that they are related to each other.   
     
     
         9 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said as least one similar identifier is a number. 
     
     
         10 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said first and second markers are similar in size. 
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 8  wherein there are at least two markers in said set of markers. 
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 8  wherein said set of markers are similar in size and shape to chips being used for placing bets in the pot. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 8  wherein there are as many sets of markers as there are players less one set. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13  wherein each set of markers has an identifier with a different value. 
     
     
         15 . A system of tracking “all-in” bets in a game of poker comprising:
 providing a set of at least a first marker and a second marker; 
 using the first marker of said set of markers for identifying an “all-in” pot a player is playing for; 
 using the second marker of said set of markers for identifying the player that is playing for the “all-in” pot; and 
 having at least one similar identifier on the first and second markers of said set to indicate that they are related to each other. 
 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 15  wherein said as least one similar identifier is a number. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 15  wherein said first and second markers are similar in size. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 15  wherein there are at least two markers in said set of markers. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 15  wherein said set of markers are similar in size and shape to chips being used for placing bets in the pot. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 15  wherein there are as many sets of markers as there are players less one set.
