1. If the blinds are $5/10 and I only have $2 left, go all in and beat everyone, I win $2 from everyone who called, but what about the blinds? do I win $2 from the big and $2 from the small blind? My buddies are trying to say that the blinds go into the first pot (the one my money is in), not the sidepots, which would mean I am winning $15 worth of blinds in addition to each of their $2.
2. Also, I say that there isn't an unlimited number of bets in no limit hold em but others say, "no, in no limit you can bet as many times as you want in one round of betting". So, they're saying (let's say preflop) if there are 8 people in the hand each person can raise when it gets to them, making 8 raises preflop. I thought there was a maximum of 3 raises.
There has been controversy at our local live game about this and can't find an answer anywhere online-every set of rules i find are really basic. These are the same dorks that tried to argue with me that the dealer is always the BIG blind....LOL
thanks for anyone with answers!
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game?

You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites.

You can only win as much from each player as you contribute yourself. In your example, you would win $4 from the blinds plus $2 from each caller.

The number of raises permitted is always a house rule. Here's another thread about this very topic. Maybe that will answer it for you better.

Typically you can reraise to your hearts content in no-limit. However, it would be a pretty rare situation to see a pot raised up 8 times without someone just shoving in their chips. At home games, you can have whatever rules suit the people that are playiong. I have heard of people setting limits to number of re-raises before.
