[QUOTE="mozart5, post: 921405, member: 6765"]
In a case where the blinds are 400/800 and the small blind only has 350 in chips how is it called and what does it do to the big blind. I called the small blind "all in" at 350 and told the big blind to ante up the 800. I told the small blind player he could only win what he wagered, 350. Because it was a blind and not a bet. Had it been an all in bet he would have been able to win the pot at that time, It was a blind, a small blind, matched by a player who could make the big blind. His all in of 350 could only be matched by a win of 350. It was a tough call and I would appreciate an answer as to what the rule is. If either blind is short, how does it affect the rest of the play??

Answer: The player with 350 is considered all-in from the start. He can only win as much from each player as he himself wagered -- 350 multiplied by the amount of players who called preflop. Also, there is no difference between an all-in bet and an all-in blind.
The big blind still posts the 800. If the action is just heads up, then the big blind just matches the 350 and whatever hand wins, takes the 700. If there is more than one player, then you'll have to have a main pot and a side pot.

this is where i got that from

only the big blind is live at the start of a game. the small blind is still to act. hope this helps.
