The 50% or more rule you are thinking of is a limit rule.
If you are playing NL and put in 50% or more of a raise and you are NOT all in, you HAVE to add enough for a min raise.
IE: Chris Moneymaker, 2 to 3 years ago in the Main Event WSOP, the bet he is facing is $4000T. He puts in $6000T. The Dealer makes him add $2000T to make it a min raise.
If you are playing Limit and go all in for less than a full raise but it is 50% or more of a raise, then it is treated as a raise. it will re open betting for players who have already acted.
If you are playing either game and go all in for less than 50% of a raise, it is just a call, not a raise and it does not reopen betting for anyone WHO HAS NOT ACTED YET.
