(1) If a person does not have enough chips left in their stack to post a blind, what happens? Can they play the hand? Example: The Big Blind has to post 50 for his big blind but only has 30 in his stack. Does he just post his 30 and then the rest goes to a side pot?
(2) I know that the person who raised at the river shows their cards first. But if your cards are not better than his/hers do you have to show your losing cards? Thanks
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

FYI...Should probably go in the Beginner's thread.
1) Yes, they can play. As you surmise, 30 chips from everyone who plays are put into a pot this person can actually win. I believe that any subsequent callers need to bet the whole BB (unless it's folded around to SB, of course), but not 100% sure of that.
2) There are several threads throughout the forum discussing whether everyone must show, or not. I believe most places will allow the others to muck, but the people still in the hand can request the cards be shown to deter collusionists.
EDIT BY ADAM: This was in the General Poker Chat, but got moved to the Beginner's area. Nice call Gd.

1) Yes
2) No you don't have to show, but at most casinos the player that won can request to have your cards shown if you bet or called and mucked on the river.

To add to Golddog's response on the 1rst question. Yes, if anyone else decides to "call" then they most call with the full Big Blind of 50, not just the 30 posted by the short stack.
