OK, hopefully someone will know the answer to this situation that came up in one of our live homegames? In a hand, both the SB and BB went out, so the very next hand the dealer button moved to where the SB had been previously, even though it was dead. So in theory, the previous BB was now the SB(even though he was out) and the person next to him was BB. So far, so good, I hope?
Onto the next hand, to where does the dealer button go? I said to the next 'live' person, so, in effect, the one next to the original BB from the first hand, some people agreed, but some argued that that would mean someone missing a BB, and that the dealer should go to the dead BB from the first hand.
If Ive confused you, im sorry, I will try to make it clearer:
Seat 1: Dealer
Seat 2: SB
Seat 3: BB
Seat 4
Seat 5
Seat 6
Seat 7
so seat's 2 and 3 went out, so the dealer button moves to seat 2 next hand, there's no SB, just a BB at seat 4. Where does the dealer button go next hand? My understanding was that it went to seat 4, therefore meaning that seat 5 misses a BB. is this right?
BTW this isnt a problem about who actually deals the cards, as I was dealer for the night, its about posting the SB/BB
