Me and my mates were having a discussion about poker rules and found a situation that we couldn't agree on. If a player has gone all-in and there are still other players in the game, the excess goes into a side bet. This scenario is undecided, however:
Say there are three players: A, B and C. A goes all-in. B calls. Can C raise the bet with B? If so, would B have to see this raise in order to see A's hand at the end?
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your 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. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

If A goes all-in and B calls, C can raise over the top of B to as much as C has left after calling A's bet. B would have to call that re-raise in order to remain in the hand so if u like, yes B does have to call in order to see A's hand.
If B folds, the re-raise of C is taken back and the showdown ensues for 3 times the all-in bet of A (cos A, B & C all called even though B is now out). If B calls C, the game progresses as usual with all additional bets over and above the value of A's all-in bet going into the side pot.
Hope that helps a bit.

wait... what happens to the sidebet??

Player B and Player C fight for the sidepot... Even if player A has the best hand, s/he can't play for the sidepot. Its possible for either play B or C to win both the sidepot as well as the main pot, but player A can only win the main pot (as they didn't put any money into the side pot)

In case it's still not clear... When he says B&C fight for the side pot, if they're both in at the showdown, even if player A wins the main pot, whoever has the highest hand out of players B&C takes the side pot.
