What does "Table Stakes" mean in Rounders

Question

You can tell I don&#x27;t play ANY cards (only played hold&#x27;em once in my life for a charity event).  When TeddyKGB says "table stakes" after Damon doubles the blinds, what does that mean?

table stakes limit the amount a player can win or lose in the play of a single hand. A player may bet no more money than he or she had on the table at the beginning of that hand and consequently can not go back to their pocket for more money once a hand is dealt.

On a side note, in the Bond film Casino Royale (the more recent one) in the beginning Bonds opponent wanted to add to his bet by betting his car. The dealer objects saying "table stakes only gentleman" but Bond says it&#x27;s OK. Bond ends up winning the pot and the car.

I LOVED that movie but the poker scenes were awful. Correct me if Im wrong but later in the film Bond loses with quads against a Royal. After his co-workers (spies, whatever) were like, "you got cocky bond, you overplayed the hand" and its like HUH??????????? The guy had fucking quads, Im payin off a Royal EVERY FUCKING TIME with quads, especially when only three of the royal is on the board, its not like he only needed 1 card for the Royal.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Awesome movie and i hope I didnt butcher the story. If I did someone please call me out on it

Yeah every hand was a bad beat jackpot hand and they all acted like the guy that lost the hand was being outplayed.

Yeah, that $10 Million buy in game at the end was retarded. I would&#x27;ve gotten pissed and suspicious of the dealer if the hands played out that way. They should have taken the opportunity to make it a little better. You&#x27;d think hollywood would learn by now with all the ways they depict poker in films.
