Party Poker appears to have a software flaw that bothers me so much, I don’t think I’ll ever play there. If there is $100 in the pot and after the flop, a bet of $50 is made and then called. At most poker sites during the betting at that point, $200 is in the pot, but at Party Poker, you have to do math to figure it out during the round. To me, that’s a huge flaw that requires much additional work for me to do.
Next, I’ve been in a situation more than once @ Poker Stars where a bet is made to a short stack in NLHE, he raises all-in. The betting gets back to me and there is still another opponent with chips to act after me. I’d like to go over the top and re-raise to that opponent, but the interface will only let me call the amount left.
I’m using play money for both interfaces, but that shouldn’t matter. Has anyone noticed these things? Is it legitimate flaws or am I doing something wrong?

legit flaws.
The first one, no worries just use yer head, the more practice the better and quicker you'll work out the proportion of bets to the pot. I find this works to my advantage for a few resons:
- it hampering other ppl (maybe giving me more edge)
- may help success of continuation bets, as they see a pot of only $10 and have to call a raise of $8 - otherwise they see a juicy pot of $18 and 'only have to call $8 to see what he does on the turn'
Think the second problem is called under-raising, its dependant on the house/sites rules. I love being able to stitch up ops with a re-re-raise after a short stacks moved allin, however it does seem a bit unfair! I think its more fair for all players in to only be able to meet the short stacks under-raise.

Good point, I suppose I could exploit the flaw to my advantage, even though it does require more work. The flaw of re-raising isn’t too bad since it rarely comes up, so I think I’m going to start at Poker Stars and if I am fortunate to enjoy success, I’ll put in enough money at Party Poker to get the full bonus.

Personally I don't think under-raising is "fair" as such. The joy of no-limit is that I can (almost) always set the odds my opponents will have to beat to call my bets. Under-raising creates spots where I could have top set but am obliged to give a flush draw odds to call, which is something I'd NEVER do in the course of a normal pot. I regularly use the re-raise to isolate and it's quite a big thing for me if I can't do it.

Sukks again to have to play by the rules of poker. You may only re-raise here if you were raised already. Technically a raise requires someone to double your wager. If they guy isn't stacked enough to double it, it's technically not a legit "raise" and you only have the option to call. I think you will have a hard time finding a site that will let you re-raise here.

You're not doing anything wrong, it just sounds like you're new to poker and some of the smaller nuances.
