Damage dealt to a player by a source without infect causes that player to lose that much life.
Damage dealt to a player by a source with infect causes that source’s controller to give the player that many poison counters.
Damage dealt to a creature by a source with wither and/or infect causes that source’s controller to put that many -1/-1 counters on that creature.
Damage dealt to a creature by a source with neither wither nor infect causes that much damage to be marked on that creature.
Multiple instances of infect on the same object are redundant.
Damage dealt to a creature by a source with neither wither nor infect is marked on that creature (see rule 120.3). If the total damage marked on that creature is greater than or equal to its toughness, that creature has been dealt lethal damage and is destroyed as a state-based action (see rule 704). All damage marked on a creature is removed when it regenerates (see rule 701.19, “Regenerate”) and during the cleanup step (see rule 514.2).
Convoke
Convoke is a static ability that functions while the spell with convoke is on the stack. “Convoke” means “For each colored mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature of that color you control rather than pay that mana. For each generic mana in this spell’s total cost, you may tap an untapped creature you control rather than pay that mana.”
Rulings
As Anoint with Affliction resolves, if the creature's controller has three or more poison counters, the creature will be exiled no matter what its mana value is. If the controller doesn't, the creature will be exiled only if its mana value is 3 or less.
You may choose to target a creature that has mana value greater than 3 even if no player has three of more poison counters.
