In Texas Holdem, the player left of the dealer places the small blind.. then the player to his left places a big blind. then everyone to the left matches the big blind, right??

Does the guy who placed the small blind have to pay up when it gets back around to him, or does he just have to pay the small blind?

Lets say that the small blind is one chip, and big blind is two chips… after everyone puts in their bet, does the guy who is small blind have to put in another chip, or is he good with just the one chip in while everyone else put in two?

Do you take female poker players seriously online and at live games? I ask that question because a woman just won the European Poker Tour at Dortmund. While watching the final table I noticed the guys try to gang up on her. For example when she would make a decent raise someone would always try to push her all-in.
