i tried searching but i couldnt find the answer to my question
(in my example to make it easier player2 is sitting to the left of player1)
lets say a player1 is the big blind. player1 happens to go all in and loses on that hand. in the next hand does player2 become big blind and there is no small blind? or does player2 skip the big blind and is small blind and the player to the left of him become big blind?
i'm wondering casue i know like in casinos when a player to the left of the dealer goes out the next hand that player who just went out is considered the dealer so that hte blinds dont get screwed up...at least in a casino in upstate new york.
thanks for hte help

In your example, Player 2 will become the bb and there will be no sb. On the next deal, the dealer button will move to Player 1's now empty seat (although the player to the right of Player 1 actually gets the advantage of dealer position two hands in a row) and Player 2 will be the sb and Player 3 will be the bb. This is how it would work using the dead button rule, which is the rule that is usually followed. There is also a moving button rule, but its more complicated and not usually followed.

I like the dead button rule too, its better because no one misses a big blind. Id rather have the same guy be dealer twice then someone gettign a free round of the table.
this may help you understand better
Player1 - Dealer
Player2 - Small Blind
Player3 - Big Blind <- this guy goes out on this hand
Player4 - First to act
Player5
Player1 -
Player2 - Dealer
Player3 - (OUT)
Player4 - Big Blind
Player5 - First To Act
Player1 -
Player2 -
EMPTY SPOT IS DEALER (essentially its player 2 twice in a row)
Player4 - Small Blind
Player5 - Big Blind

I'd say it depends on whether you're playing limit or no-limit. IMHO, in limit, it's more important than no one misses a blind. No-limit, it's more important that everyone gets the button an near equal number of times.
Or am I totally whack?

Late in a NL SNG when the blinds are huge I would say its more important that everyone posts there Big blind. Say there are two short stacks in, 4 players left 3 pay. Shortstack A doesnt have to pay BB, i would say that gives him a much bigger advantage than someone having the button twice.

Good point. I'm trying to figure out the best way to do it for my home game, and this question never seems to get adequately answered. Maybe I should just say screw it, and use the dead button rule. If anything it's the easiest method.

a lot of players dont understand position anyway. So give them the button twice and it wont help them much. I know most of the people i play with it doesnt make a difference.

Another disadvantage of the moving button rule, is that sometimes the button is on a player posting a blind, which is an unfair advantage. I'd say you're definitely better off with sticking to the dead button rule.

I'm confused as to what you're saying. Are you saying that there are situations where the bb skips a person on some rounds? I don't think this is correct.
