| Re: Late players and blinds. heres what my large group of players, plus the casinos ive gone to have always done.
lets say for your example there is a table with ten seats, and seats 2 and 3 are empty.
the button is about to move to seat 1 when players occupy seat 2 and 3. the correct ruling is to skip them. a player is not allowed to come into a game on the small blind. so the person in seat 2 is automatically out. that means that in this situation the person in seat 3 must also be skipped, since he would once again be coming in on a small blind. So these two players sit out of the hand and you have the following situation: Dealer is seat one. SB is seat 4, BB is seat 5. Now after this hand the button skips over seats 2 and 3, and seat 4 becomes the dealer. after this the button can just pass freely. having a player post is entirely up to the person running the game, i personally do not do it, but as i said, matter of opinion. i hope you could translate through that |
