There was a situation in my home game last night and I was looking for the correct way to handle it. Blinds are at 400-800. A player has 1000 in chips and goes all in. Do players that want to call his all-in still need to call 1600 (min raise) and start a side pot?
I would think that this gives the player that went all in an unfair advantage. For instance the BB would probably call an extra 200 reguardless of his cards, on the other hand he might not call a 800 chip raise.

If they were calling, they would only have to match his 1000, 800 big blind + 200.
If they wanted to raise, the min raise would be 1600, 800 big blind + 800 min bet.
If that player only had 700 in chips and went all-in. Any player that called would have to call with 800 (the big blind) and a side pot would be created.

Was it Limit or No Limit?
Here's the Official Rule for Limit PLay:
5. In limit play, an all-in wager of less than half a bet does not reopen the betting for any player who has already acted and is in the pot for all previous bets. A player facing less than half a bet may fold, call, or complete the wager. An all-in wager of a half a bet or more is treated as a full bet, and a player may fold, call, or make a full raise. (An example of a full raise is on a $20 betting round, raising a $15 all-in bet to $35).
