Allin Situations
When one of the players is out of chips in the middle of a hand, he is considered all-in, and he gets to see the rest of the hand played out through the River. If there is just one other player left in the hand, then the dealer simply deals out the rest of the hand and then asks for the winner to reveal his hand. If there are more than one player still in the hand, and one of them is all-in, then a side pot is created. The player who is all-in cannot win the side pot, but can only win the main pot. The other players can win both the side pot and the main pot.
It is important when betting to consider when someone is already all-in or is close to going all-in. Sometimes a player closer to being all-in is frustrated, because they are in that situation because they are in the midst of a losing session. If they raise, sometimes they are raising just to get all-in and get the betting over with so they can see if they have won. It is useful to understand the type of player that may do this so that you do not misinterpret their aggressiveness for anything else other than the fact that they just want to get to that point as soon as possible.
