    I've noticed when playing on FHM poker that if someone underraises all in, say they've only 50 chips left and the BB is 100, it allows the remaining players to reraise. Isn't this illegal in poker?

    This is not a raise but an under call all in. Therefore it is fine for someone else to raise.

    Oh, if the BB has say 60 in chips left after putting in the BB of 100 and you are utg its perfectly to just call and then reraise if the BB puts in his remaining 60 chips?

    The rule is quite simple, on the first round of betting you allways get a chance to raise. You only miss this chance if the action gets back to you after an all in, and the all in wasnt big enough to be considered a raise.

    So for example, the big blind is 100. Utg calls all in for 90 chips. UTG + 1 calls for 100. All fold to the button who raises to 500. The BB calls 400. Utg +1 goes all in for 600. This is not big enough to be considered a raise, so the button cannot reraise. However, if utg + 1 had of gone all in for enough, 900 in this case, the button could of raised again.

    That would be an underraise.

    In the first case there is no raise to call. The player is simply trying to match the big blind, not raising. In the example you give in the quoted post the BB is raising all in but his raise is less than the minimun therefore the underraise rule would kick in. I think:D
