"Up the ante" How would you use this expression in a sentence? Whenever I hear or read this idiom I find it extremely hard to get the gist of what people are trying to say. I'd be really grateful for many, many examples on how you'd use "up the ante" in context.

Definition of up the ante [ raise the ante] 1. to raise the opening stakes in a betting game. Example: Pete upped the ante on the poker game to $100 per hand . Don't up the ante any more. You're betting far too much money already. 2. to increase a price. Example: Sensing how keen the people looking at the house were, Jerry upped the ante another $5,000. "Don't try to up the ante on us," said the man, "We know what the asking price is."
