Poker game - what to call this button?
I'm finishing up a Texas Hold 'Em game and I can't figure out what I should label a button that sets the player's bet to an amount that will put all in the next person in line to go all in. I don't think calling it "all in" is a good idea, because that will make it sound like it's an amount that puts the player all in. Similarly, labeling it "short stack" isn't necessarily accurate either, since if the person on the short stack has since folded or is currently all in, then the value of this button is not the short stack on the table, but the rather the shortest stack out of the players who are still betting. If it helps to set the scene, this button is one of four quick-bet buttons, the other three being $0 (check or fold), minimum bet, and maximum bet. Any ideas?
Perhaps "force all-in" or something of the sort? Tooltips or providing additional hint text in a statusbar-like area or some other method of additional clarification would probably also help out in this area.

Hmm is there a need for this button?
I mean how often would it get used. In a pot limit game (as I think this is) then maybe not a lot and just raising to the small stack in the hand is not really a good poker move.
Maybe a name like "I can't calculate the bet for myself, so take the small stack player all in if the pot is big enough and I want to bet really quickly. This may be a bad move."
