Last night at a home poker game, I mentioned the dealer is always the small blind heads up. Everyone who was there disagreed with me (about ten people). Some were willing to bet a lot of money on it that i was wrong. I thought I was going crazy. I didnt want to bet but I was sure I was right. I go home watch WPT and I was right. Go on pokerstars and partypoker to watch heads up and I was right. In Heads up dealer is always small blind first to act before flop and last after flop and so on.
can you respond to this so i can show everyone.
Thanks,
Chris
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites.

I would maybe agree with u but I'm not actually 100% sure. Didn't they just change the rule on the last lot of televised poker I saw?
I'm not sure m8, some1 else will have to clarify this. One thing is sure though, it WILL be clarified by some1 on this forum.

Yes, you are 100 percent correct. Figure this out before it happens at a home game, though. I.E. make a rules sheet.

Yes, I still want clarification although I don't doubt supafrey's reply. Actually I'm surprised by own apparant ignorance. 
Think maybe I just confused myself. In fact I probably did, I guess that isn't so much of a surprise....

Small blind is always the button.

yup ... easy way to remember ... button always acts last after the flop

its typical how you'll never notice something like this when its always automatically done for you./

"4. In heads-up play with two blinds, the small blind is on the button."
What Bob says, goes.

IM 100% sure its right to after seeing it on WPT and on partypoker and pokerstars. But have to have some doubt when everyone was telling me I was wrong. Going to make a lot of money now making bets about this.
Thanks for the help!

To be honest, I thought partypoker did it backwards, at least in cash games. They might have changed that, and I might be wrong entirely but I seem to remember it being backwards. I know some sites are that way (Absolutepoker comes to mind)
It's something of a house rule in that sense I guess, as is well, everything in poker, but Roberts Rules is a great attempt to try to universalize the rules, and the vast majority of places will follow them roughly, including the button/small blind thing.

Your right, I just checked partypoker ring games they do do it backwards but do it right in the tournaments. Absolute poker does it backwards in both ring and tournaments.
Anyone have the official rules on this?
Thanks

READ WHAT SNOO JUST SAID.
lol
There are no "official" rules to any game, but the closest possible thing - including the WSOP, the WPT, Roberts, etc, does it the way we already said it.
