What is buy in time?

Buy in time refers to the time period during which a participant can enter a poker game or tournament by purchasing chips or tokens. In most poker games, players can buy in at any time before a certain point in the game. The buy in amount can vary depending on the game or tournament, and is usually set by the organizer or casino. The purpose of buy in time is to allow players to join a game or tournament if they missed the initial start time or if they wish to increase their chip stack. It is important for players to keep track of when the buy in time ends and plan accordingly to ensure they can participate in the game or tournament.
