If a player is unable to cover a bet in a poker game, the situation is usually referred to as being "all-in." Being all-in means that the player does not have enough chips to match the full amount of the bet or raise. The following outcomes depend on the specific rules being followed:
All-In and Call: If a player is all-in and another player makes a bet that is equal to or less than the all-in player's stack, a side pot is created. The all-in player is eligible to win only the main pot, while the additional bets from other players go into a separate side pot. If the all-in player has the best hand, they can win the main pot, but the side pot goes to the next best hand. If multiple players are all-in, multiple side pots can be created.
All-In and Raise: If a player is all-in, and another player makes a bet that exceeds the all-in player's stack, a side pot is created, and the all-in player is not eligible to win any further bets. The remaining active players can continue betting among themselves for the side pot. The all-in player is only eligible to win the main pot up to the point of their all-in bet.
