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 |
This does make sense to me, as far as the button goes, let me see if I have this part right though with the blinds.
Since the button was on seat 1, and 2 and 3 were empty, seat 4 just posted the BB and 5 the SB.
Once seats 2 and 3 are filled, the button moves to seat 4, and 5 is the SB, and was just the BB, and 6 is the BB.
Now that the button has passed the new players, they post a BB, correct?
So according to this scenario now that the button has skipped the new players, Seat 2 (new) Seat 3 (new) and seat 6 (old) all post a BB, and seat 5 (old) posts a SB.
From there everything goes as normal.
So if I have this right, ANY time someone sits at an active table, they are penalized a BB for their first hand.
However it they sit infront of the button, (how many seats away?) they are skipped for the deal, and once they are passed by the button, they are hit with a BB.
If you sit behind the button, you just post a BB, and get playing.
That pretty much it?
