i was just wondering if someone could confrim the rules in this particular area

i was play a friendly game with a few friends when it came to the point were one player could meet his high blind obligation. we were just wondering what happens in this situation

does the player just go all-in and the small blind is met as normal

or

does the small blind only have to be half what the high blind has managed to put in

or

does the player automatically forfeit

thanks to anyone who can clarrify this

If the blinds are 250/500 and the big blind only has 400 then he is all in.

All other players have to call 500 though and the extra 100 from each player is put into a side pot. The BB can only win 400 from each player, but every other player can win the 100s in the side pot plus any further bets on other streets.

The small blind is still 250.
