Depends on house rule. Usually, they're in until they don't respond to a bet.

My Opinion

It depends if you normally win in the big blind. If you do don't fold. Give it a little power bet. about 1/3 pot. If you don't win in big blind then fold. It is just going to hurt you.

On 888 the blind will stay in until a call is required, meaning they can reach the showdown and win the pot of there is no aggression, and they also play out all-ins they're blinded into. On pokerstars they are auto-folded regardless of if they are all-in or are not raised against

Before making any decision, you need to understand the type of opponent against which you are going to play. To begin with, it will be normal to put 50-70% of the bank in the hope that it will throw off. Of course, your authority at the table will play a big role in choosing the solution

It depends where you are playing, there are rooms that even count the player state offline, I think this form is unfair, since the person being offline could not receive the value of the bets

If you're playing online in the SB or BT and no one raised or called make a raise with anything really just to get the BB and SB. I've seen the BB win way to many pots without even being present because no one raises them lol

Tournament Live: Dealer takes the BB from the player's stack and deals the player in. However the hand is dead if the player does not arrive at the table before the second card is dealt.
http://www.pokerlistings.com/poker-rules-tournaments

Tournament Online: On the sites I play, the cards are dealt, and are live until there is a pre-flop raise or a post-flop bet. This is true whether the player is "sitting out" or not.

Cash Live: Cards are not dealt to player, BB is not taken from player's stack.

Cash Online: If the player has not hit the "Sit Out" button, the cards are dealt and are live until there is a pre-flop raise or a post-flop bet. If the player is sitting out, same as cash live.

I do not know if I understood correctly the question, but if the question is if the Big Blind is absent he must pay doubled the answer is no, he simply loses the chips placed compulsorily. Smart have helped.

Oh my god how have lot got so off topic
If u are sat in a room at a table and the person who is the big blind leaves the table the small blind calls and everyone else folds
In this circumstance should the big blind be folded in the big blinds absence or should the cards be dealt till there is a raise at which Point if the person who is big blind is not back then and only then they should get folded
I can5 make that any more clear about what I’m saying

I'm pretty sure your question has been answered. Yes, some people didn't quite understand what you were asking, but others did. That's the thing with these forums - you have to take the chaff with the wheat.

Especially with freerolls the amount of players 'sitting out' must be part of your game strategy. You must steal the BB by raising!
