Re: Someone explain the rules of poker to me.

I think because the all in was less than a full raise, all you can do is call. The other players would have been able to raise if they wanted, because they hadn't acted yet. If you had opened for 130, then the all in would have been a full raise and you could have repopped the callers.

I'm curious to know if that would be true. I don't think it would/should be.
The reason you have the option to reraise is that someone acting after you has increased the size of the bet. If someone goes allin, then you cannot force them to put in any more chips. So if no one else raises, then you shouldn't be able to have another option to act against them, only to call or fold against the short stacks all in.
I don't think I'm putting into words what I mean very well, but I thought I'd give it a try.
