What's the rule about raising after an all in?

What's the rule about raising after an all in? I see sometimes on Party where someone goes all in and the others in the hand can't re-raise, they can only call. What determines that? I was thinking maybe it was when the all in was less than the minimum raise - is that right?

You can reraise after an all in, you either do at least twice what the all in bet was or if you don't have that then you go all in for the rest of your stack. If you go reraise after an all in it usually means that you're trying to isolate against one player.

I don't think his question is why would you do it is what governs when you can't reraise an all in and my answer is idk, my guess is when you can't raise it double the all in.

The OP is correct here.
You can not raise after an all in if the all in was less than the minimum raise.
You can raise after an all in if the all in was more than the minimum raise, no matter what your stack size is.

Which is the most stupid rule in poker. Pot is 1200, and some idiot has 200 chips left, goes all in, and allows someone to draw on you when you flop the best hand because you can't raise.

I think you're confused here Rondavu...there would have to be a bet of at least 101 chips that you either made or can action on first. For example, if the round of betting is like so:
You bet 101, Guy1 calls, Guy2 goes all in for 200
You may call 99 or fold. Same for Guy1...because the only action to reply to is a non-actionable raise.

However, if it goes like this:
Guy1 bets 101, Guy2 raises AI for 200
You get to action it.

Do you see the difference or am I not being particularly clear this morning? (or am I being retarded and not understanding the rule myself...)

Hey thanks. That occurance had always confused me a bit.
