| 4 players, binds $400/$200, small blind goes all-in on $200 and big blind puts in $400, other 2 players fold. Small blind has no more money to meet the big blind. What happens, I thought that the small blind would have to fold as they can't meet the blind to play, everyone overrulled me and said the small blind plays short, turns out small blind player had better cards and won the hand so took the $600 in the pot. Is that correct? Thank you. |

Hi Cath - welcome to the site.
Your friends are partly right and partly wrong. In this situation the small blind is allin for $200 and the big blind remains at $400. Any other person wanting to enter the hand has to chip up $400 to match the big blind but in your example noone did.
The small blind won but doesn't win the whole pot. You can't win more than a multiple of your stake. In this case there were 2 players in so 2*stake of $200 =$400 won by small blind and $200 returned to losing Big Blind.
If there had been a third player come in for $400 then the pot would be $1000. If the small blind won their allin here then they would have won $200*3 = $600 with the remaining $400 being a side pot contested by the big blind and the 3rd player. |
