I was into something that was really disturbing.
The other night, I played with my friends. There was player A, B, and so on and so forth. Player A went all in and I called the all in as player B. Then next was player C who raised and player D called.
Later on, I tried to check but some did told me that I have to call or fold player C because of having some chips. I was hesitant to do any of the two for I only wanted to compete for the all in and not the side pot actually.
If you were on my shoes that time, what will you do?

Gian,
Since player C had more chips than you, you had to either call their raise, or fold. The side pot is still part of the original hand. You cannot only compete for the main pot.

One thing I noticed in most online games is that when a player is the big blind and is all in, players who don’t have enough and are still in just call what the big blind is in for and not the whole blind instead. For an instance, blinds are $200/$400, John is in the small blind of $200 and Jane is in the big blind but only has $250.
What do you think, do the other players have to call $400 o just $250? Personally, I think they have to call $400, but I’m not totally sure. Any idea?
I’ve been trying to look for the possible answer online, but unfortunately haven’t found any. Hope you could help me.
Thank you.

McBeal,
In a No Limit Holdem game, the players are only required to call the amount the player has went in for. They may raise to any amount, but they are only required to call the all-in amount.
Remember, the all in player can only win from each player the amount they are all-in for.

I’ve just started playing no limit holdem and I don’t totally understand things about meeting the blind or big blind.
In case the first person betting after the flop cannot meet the blind and goes all in, what should the other players do? Do they have to meet the big blind or just meet the bet of the first person? By the way, before the flop, all players at the table have met the blind.
Thank you in advance.

Austin,
In the above scenario, since this is No Limit Holdem, the players have the option to either just call the all-in bet or raise. They do not have to meet the big blind amount. They can raise as normal.

Hello,
My question is something related in my recent no limit game. Well, the blinds were in at 40/80. The first one to act during that game was my friend. He actually went all in about 200. Then there is that next guy who called all in for what he had, (61) chips the 40 and 80 blinds folded. By the way, he is not a blind.
After that round, I wondered whether everything was just a pre flop, if in case it matters.
In the end, the guy who had 61 chips in the pot won the hand against my friend. I’m thinking if you can break down everything, what amount of chips should he supposedly win in total? And one more thing, do you think his winnings came from my friend or from others?
Thanks,
Ashlon
Ashlon,
The opponent that bet out 61 should have won 223. The most he could win from any opponent was 61. You friend would get back 139 from his bet and would actually in 19 of the big blinds bet. The opponent with 61 would get back his 61, plus your friends 61, 61 from the big blind, and 40 from the small blind.
In the end, this hand only cost your friend 42 since he won 19 from the big blinds bet.
