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.
