The goal is to win as much money from the other players as possible. Matching the current bet is a 'call,' increasing the bet amount is a 'raise,' and forfeiting the round is a 'fold.' If nobody raises the minimum bet from the start of the game, then calling is referred to as a 'check.' If a player puts all of their chips on a bet, they are 'all in.' If an opponent runs out of money, a new one will take their place in the next round. Players must ante up a minimum bet after seeing their hands to participate in the round, and must match the highest bet on the table at all times.
