Hi,
As I am writing this, I just finished playing Holdem by which my friend who had $10 in chips left became very troubled because he was informed he could no longer play because of not having sufficient chips for the big blind, which during that time was actually $40.
Well, I believe that he could have played, but only for $10 from every player. But I’m not so sure about this, so I’m looking for any piece of advice from you.
Thanks in advance! Great site!

John,
You were correct. Your opponent could have still played, but the most he could have won from each player was $10. In no limit holdem you can go all in for less than the big blind if that is all that you have in front of you. Of course, the most you can win from each player is that amount.
