2 newbie questions

Ooops..yes your right. Sorry 7 and to anyone I may have confused. The folded blinds would be additional making the pot total 575. In my over zealous desire to explain what happens when the blinds are bigger than the all-in bet I explained wrong. Geesh....explaining it isn't as easy as doing it.

If allin player wins what happens with the difference of the other players raise,eg. if i raise 400 and he goes allin 340 he can only win 340 as i understood(u said u can win as much as u invested),so what will happen with the other 60? Will i get them back or it goes to the dealer?

If there are more than one player with more chips than the all-in a side pot is established between those players.

If is between 2 players the difference would go back to the player with more chips.

I have a situation can you help please, it was first round of betting, dealer puts 1 as minimum of the bet,than first on left puts min bet 2, than the first on left goes allin with 3, i fold, than the dealer raises 50 and the first left goes allin 35. So there is no more betting and 2 players are allin, i folded and we started with the burning,and flop and skipped all rest of betting rounds as there is no more betting possible, after all 5 cards are out the player with allin 3 won, so he won his 3 + 3 from the pot,what happens with rest of the money on the desk the dealers 50 and the 35 allin from other player? Thanks!

Assuming the $1 (small blind) folded, the $3 all-in gets $10 (his bet and $3 from the other 2 players who remained in and the small blinds $1.

There should have been a side pot (the total of the $35 all-in x 2)$70 which is given to the winner of those 2 players. The $15 above what the $35 all-in had is given back to the $50 bettor.

No it's not the small blind who folded, i folded, i didnt bet at all. It was small blind (1 dollar) than the bet (2 dollars) than the allin 3 dollars than my fold, than 50 raise and 35 allin from other player. So if the allin 3 dollar winner gets 10 dollars( his 3 + 3 from first player + 3 from other player + small blind) ,than the 50 dollar player will be 4 dollars short, because if 3 allin receives 10 in total, than the player who raised 50 wont get back his 15 dollars (he will get 11)? Can you explain?

I am a bit confused about how many players are involved and what their bets are. I can answer your question if you fill in these blanks:

player 1 bet ____
player 2 bet ____
player 3 folded
player 4 raised to _____

If you can give me something like that that is clear I will answer question accurately.

I think I am following you now. The $3 all-in gets $9 and the side pot is $64 which goes to the winner of that if I am understanding there are 4 players total.
