Couple of q's. First one is can you keep reraising each other.

i.e. Player A bets 10 then play B bets 20.

Can player A then go higher again etc etc. Or does he just have to see then?

Secondly.

If a player loses a hand and doesnt have enough chips to meet the blinds what happens to him. I guess he is out but what happens to his chips?

Yes double the bet minimum each time.

If a player cannot meet the blind then his chips are matched by the other players and held to one side untill after the hands are finished at that point he shows his cards to win the seperate amount of chips if he has the best hand.

So in senario A

Blinds are 10 and 20. Player A bets 20, player B then best 40.
Player A can raise again but it would have to be a minimum of 40 more is that right putting him on 60 and player B still on 40.

In senario B

There is always the potential for a side pot no matter how many chips he has left. Blinds are at 10 and 20 and he only has 5 he can keep playing and the rest of the players have to keep 5 of there chips in a seperate pile. Makes sense.

thanks

Yeah u can re-raise, has to be double the amount he raised you before. And that can go on till someone is all in or folds.

And if a played does not have enough chips his will go into a side pot and if other players want to play there hand then have to match his chips and then carry on betting into a seperate pot.

TO be honest i barely ever play online. Me and 7 mates get together once every six months or so and they were the two things we needed clarifying as we have a game on saturday night. We have been playing it correctly just wanted clarification.

Agree with Danneth people don't respect play money, so it becomes a shove fest

Are you on facebook? If so play Zynga Texa's Holdem Poker on there for a bit, least then you can get the jist of the hands, raise amounts.

Go for the Buy In Tournament Games on there as they are more "real" play and not All in playing.

yes, the Zynga poker is good way to get you in the 'know how' type of thing, even if you watch it for a bit.
