no-all-in tables: what does that mean?

You wouldn't get your initial raise back. It would stay in the pot and a side pot would be created as if you were all in. It is exploitable and that's why poker sites have limits as to how often this can be done.

Usually it works in a way like this:

I raise preflop with AK, flop top 2 pr, I bet into you on the flop, you push back. Unscrupulous players have been known to disconnect in this situation, allowing them to get paid off on the money they've bet if the opponent is bluffing, while not losing a stack when villian has a set or a straight draw that hits.

FWIW, this situation got to be pretty bad and happen very often on Party back in the day, but I see it rarely on Stars these days.
