Poker - wagering when you are low on credits

When playing poker at online casinos, there will no doubt be times when you are wagering with little cash left. What happens when you find that you are actually running low on credits (bank roll) in the middle of a poker game? It is not as though you can get an IOU or throw that gold chain into the pot. Unlike perhaps games at home with family and friends, playing on the Net or in a land based facility, poker adheres to a bit of etiquette and the rules are cut and dry. You can only make bets with the money you have at the table or during game play. If you do find that you are in the middle of a great hand and find that your betting options are meager in size ability, you may find yourself going all in. Meaning, you have come to a round of wagering where you must place all your remaining credits, chip or money into the pot - whatever you have left. Will this put you out of the game? No, you can go on in the hand, but a side pot is created. Those players who are not all in can still make wagers into the side pot. If you win the hand, you get the original pot amount as your winnings. Now, as we have seen many types of tourneys develop over the past years, you will see that many have differing rules regarding what to do when you are low on credits when online gambling. So, never enter an event or start playing without full understanding of the site's actual rules regarding reloading money into your gaming account.
