I'm having trouble figuring out the best term in English for 'cave'. These are examples of the context:
A percentagem a cobrar pela concessionária será entre 5% e 20% do máximo da mesa ou da *cave*.
É vedado aos jogadores adicionar fichas à cave depois de iniciada a jogada; guardar fichas na cave; abandonar a mesa temporariamente, sem repor a cave ao regressar.
I think it has something to do with the number of chips a player starts with.

One of the questions I get asked most is: "What is a good bankroll to start with if you want to begin playing seriously?" There are so many variables it is impossible to give a general answer that will be accurate. Each person must examine their style of play, their game of choice, where they play, the limit they feel comfortable playing, and the reason for playing the game. After some serious thought, you might be able to come up with a ballpark figure.
If you search for information regarding bankroll, you might find some general rules of thumb. I have read that it is good to play with a bankroll of 300 times the amount of the big bet. This means if you want to play $1-2 limit, you should have a bankroll of $600. This is a good figure, but it is also a very general statement. You must first be aware of the type of player you are. If you are a tight, solid player, then you will probably not need as much money as a player who is involved in a lot of pots. When I first started my job as a prop player, my game of choice was Limit Omaha High Low Split. Whenever an opportunity came up for me to play the game, I jumped at the chance. There was another prop that enjoyed the game as much as I did and we usually ended up in the same game. I probably played 2 to 3 times as many hands as she did which meant my swings were higher. Our styles of play were totally different, but at the end of the week our bottom line was similar. I asked myself if I should change my style of play so my swings wouldn't be as high and the answer was easy... Absolutely not! This style of play works for me. I just need to make sure my bankroll is larger than some other people would need in the same game.

Buy-in
Definition: A 'buy-in' is the amount of money it costs to enter a poker tournament that goes towards the prize pool. There is also usually an 'entry fee' for a tournament which is money you pay to the house for running the tournament and does not go the prize pool.
For instance, if a tournament is listed as $500+$50, the $500 is the buy-in and will go to the prize pool, while the $50 is the entry fee, and will go to the house.
The amount of the buy-in and the number of chips is not always equal -- for instance, a $100 buy-in might get you 1,500 or 10,000 in chips.
