One Chip Poker

--currently a very incomplete build--

If you've ever played poker, you know that a large part of the game is deciding how many chips you can invest in the current hand. What if you needed to commit all you have right up front?

One Chip Poker is poker, but all players start the game with only one poker chip. There are no blinds or antes--the "house" donates one chip to the pot each hand. 

them: "But, theoretically, couldn't someone just keep bluffing and getting the house chips while everyone else is too frightened to stop them?" 

us (enthusiastically): "yes."

them: "isn't this just poker? and it's not even that--the actions don't work like they're supposed to"

us: "yes. we're working on that part."
