Problem: All In

Q1. Does the rule regarding All In varies in Limit, No limit and Pot limit games? If so plz provide me one case of each.

As Roy says, the concept is the same. You go all-in when you put every chip you have in the pot.

Here is the difference in games:

1- In NL games, you can go all-in at any time. There is no limit to the size of your bet excpet the number of chips you have at the table during that hand.

2- In PL games, you can go all-in any time, provided you do not have more chips in front of you then there currently are in the pot. So, if the pot currently has $100, and you have $105, the largest bet you can make is $100, and you will have $5 left over. If you are raised, you can then go all-in with your last $5 to call ($5 only) of the raise. Or you can bet your last $5 on the next betting round.

3- In Limit, you can go all-in at any time, as long as you do not have more chips than the size of the bet for the game. So, if you are playing a 20-40 game, and have $20 or less left, you can push all-in during any betting round. If you have $50 left, you can call preflop, or raise preflop, but will still not be all-in unless you get reraised and decide to call your last $10; or you can put that last $10 in on the next betting round.

I hope this makes some sense.

It is the same. No player can ever be raised out of a pot by not having enough money. Whenever a player is all in there is a sidepot arranged for the remaining players. If there are multiple players all-in (with different amounts of chips) then there are multiple sidepots.
