suppose we're in a $5/$10 game and the player in the small blind only has $4. what then? boot 'em? start a side pot?
how about if player in small blind only has $5? can s/he see the flop?
and what if big blind only has $8?
and in each of these 3 cases, how much do the subsequent players pay to see the flop??

U can never stop some1 from being in a pot, even if they have 50c to their name. You split off the amount they can pay from each player and that is the main pot. All subsequent bets go into a side pot and the short stacked player sits out effectively til the showdown which decides their fate. Obviously they can only win the main pot, the side pot goes to the next best hand. Hope that helps.
