Any diff?

...to going all-in even though you cover your oponent or raising your oponent all-in....?

[_TKO_]

To be clear, say your opponent has $200 remaining and you have $1000. Are you asking if there's any difference to you betting $200 or $1000?

[Lou Dog]

yes... say me and one oponent go to the river and I have the nut flush.... i have $100 left and my oponent has $60 left ...does it make any difference to bet $60 to put him all-in or just throw my $100 in... j/w if my oponent would think any different if I put him all-in for $60 or I throw all my money in even though I'll get some back automatically win or lose?

I don't think there's really a practical difference.

However, I appreciate when a player just moves all-in when s/he has his/her opponent covered. That way, the table action doesn't slow down while the dealer must count the opponent's chips.

In theory, no, there is not a difference. However, I've played in games where people consider it rude to say things such as "I'll put you all in." They would rather you just state that you're all in. I guess some people are just picky about things.
