Talking about stirring up a hornets nest, there is one other important rule that different venues play differently. It is what happens when somebody raises all-in for less than the previous raise or bet. What is the required call for the next player. Here is an example.....
BB 100. After the flop, player A bets BB 100. Player B raises to 500 (a raise of 400). Player C, with two rags (suited, so they must be good), raises all-in for a total of 600 (a raise of 100, which is not a sufficient raise if he had enough chips). And now this is where it all goes wrong. If Player D is still to call, what amount must he call? Is it the previous raised bet from all-in Player C of 600? Or must he call 900? which is the lowest legal raise after Player B raised to 500.
I am sure that in a previous post, Mike said that because the all-in raise was insufficient for a legal raise, then all subsequent bets must be equal to or more than the next legal raise. Some venues are playing to this rule. Other venues are allowing subsequent bets to equal the all-in raise, even though it is less than the previous raise. Personally, I am all for calling the all-in raise.

BB-100
Player A Bets 100
Player B Raises 500 (raise of 400)
Player C Raises allin 600
Player D calls 600
Player A calls 500
Player B calls 100
Side pot is now created ..turn card is dealt and the pot will now continue
That to me is the correct play.
