...I did have a situation pop up that I wasn't sure how to handle. When somone steps away from the table and misses a blind what is everything that has to be done when that player returns?
1. Player must post a big blind (in addition to regular BB being posted by another player) to re-enter the game? Does the player have the option of waiting until the big blind is naturally back on him and entering then? 2. When a returning player posts the blind to reenter the action, how are the cards dealt? In our case, we had guy that posted his blind to get back in and was sitting behind the dealer and in front of the normal blinds...we ended up giving the guy the last card (after the dealer).
3. When is it his turn to act before the flop and after the flop? Like I said, in the game I played the guy was actually behind the dealer when he rejoined...when is the action to him. I know (I think) the dealer will act last after the flop but I'm unclear on where this player acts preflop and post flop.
Thanks...
Just found out a definitive answer to question #2 above.
From Robert rules:
3. Rule seven in “Section 4 – Button and Blind Use” says, “A new player cannot be dealt in between the big blind and the button. Blinds may not be made up between the big blind and the button. You must wait until the button passes.” ...
Most games (and casinos) I've been in would have the button skip player 5 and go to the SB (player 1), since if player 5 became the button, players 1 & 2 would be the SB and BB two hands in a row.
After the button has passed player 5, he would be required to surrender his SB to the pot, and post a BB. When action came to him, he could then check (call the BB) or raise as normal.

Good point!!
