Hello,

Can somebody please explain me in what circumstances the raising action is closed when somebody is all in? For example, https://gyazo.com/422aacf54c758231781543c6e87d712d, when I just call and the original raises jams, does the first caller has the option to jam? And what rules apply in these spots? Thank you.

Action is re-opened if the raise is a legal raise. Legal raises is raises that are at least the amount of the previous raise.

In your example picture:
The first raise is to 3bb, a 2bb raise (over the 1bb big blind). The next raise (by villain 3) is to 7.5bb, which is a 4.5bb raise (over the 3bb first raise!)

Villain 2 can later on put in his whole stack which is a total of 10.16bb, which is a raise of 2.66bb over villain3's raise, and thus not a legal raise! This means it doesn't re-open the action. His bet needed to be at least the amount of the previous raise (which was 4.5bb)

Google the words: Legal raise poker
and go through the results for more explanations

Thank you for the answer but what about this spot https://i.imgur.com/vgwQjJw.png when the original raiser was allowed to back raise at me after BB cold 4-bets less than the "legal" amount?

You raised him, so you re-opened the action to him with your raise. The player all in is irrelevant to him

The raise to him is your raise - you get it?
