Active Player – A player who has a live hand.
An active player is any player who has been dealt in, and has not thrown their hand away or had their hand fouled, and
therefore will have an opportunity to act on their hand.
When a player goes all-in, they are still considered active, but only for the pot(s) they can win. They are not
considered active on any side pots created after they went all-in, because they have no chips left to wager, and can no
longer act on their hand. If you are not dealt in, or if you muck your hand or have your hand fouled, you lose your
status as an active player. Often, you will hear the dealer announce the number of active players before a betting round.
This is to prevent mistakes that can arise when players are not aware of who has a live hand. The number of active
players in a particular hand can never increase as the hand progresses, only decrease or stay the same.
