Here's a situation that I can't quite figure out. Let's say I don't have enough money to pay the small blind, so I'm forced to go all-in. Here are my questions:
1) Are the other players required to go all-in as well?
2) If the other players don't go all in, the round will continue with the flop, river, etc. Since I don't have any more money (I went all-in), how can I continue to play? If another player bets (for example), I won't have any money to call the bet.
Thanks!

The other players can continue to play the hand as normal and you only be able to win a side pot.
Ex: Blinds are 50/100. You have 25 chips in the small blind.
2 people call and the big blind checks. You will only be able to win 100 chips. Your 25 and 25 off of each player in hand. The rest of the play does not affect you. You do not turn your cards over until the hand is completed. Your hand would have to beat any player left after the river. If players fold through-out the hand, better for you.
