got one for you, i know the answer but i need backup to win this dispute.......


on a table 1 the action is folded on the sb (seat1),he raises allin , bb(seat3)calls, loses and is out. seat 2 is empty

a table breaks and 2 players come to the table, though only two seats are available, seats 2 and 3.
the button is now on seat 1.

what happens next

1. seat 2 posts sb , seat 3 posts bb, next hand continues with seat 2 button, seat 3 sb and seat 4 bb

2. seat 2 sits out, seat 3 post bb, next hand continues with seat 2 dead button (not dealt in), 3 sb, 4 bb

3. same as 2. but seat2 in the 2nd hand get dealt a hand on the button

4. seat 2 and 3 miss hand 1, with seat 4 being bb, no sb, next hand seat 3 button, every1 gets a hand

5. same as 4. in hand one , next hand seat 3 dead button, with 2 and 3 not getting a hand till hand 3

[Rookie (Rodney)]

seat1 is button, seat 3 is bb. no sb in the hand, seat 2 misses the hand. Next hand seat 2 dead button (still doesnt get dealt in), seat 3 sb, seat 4 bb.

seat1 is button, seat 3 is bb. no sb in the hand, seat 2 misses the hand. Next hand seat 2 dead button (still doesnt get dealt in), seat 3 sb, seat 4 bb.

Tell me which option this is so i can vote pls lol

[fergus8]

the options are numbered

but you picked 2

[doubleup]

seat1 is button, seat 3 is bb. no sb in the hand, seat 2 misses the hand. Next hand seat 2 dead button (still doesnt get dealt in), seat 3 sb, seat 4 bb.

Although this has the merit of getting one of the new players involved, I'm not convinced that it is correct as the normal movement of the bb has been disrupted.  I think 5 is correct.

the plot thickens, option 3 was what actually happened,no one has voted for this yet, i disagreed also.

Im 99% certain 2 is correct.

I'd disagree with that too - surely you can't get a button till you've paid a blind?

[fergus8]

im pretty sure its 5

Option 6: Both seat 2 & seat 3 along with the short stack (seat 7) are sent to the car park where they play a quick 3 handed triangular sit and go with the winner being allowed to return to the table in whichever seat is nearest the big blind

went for 2 but then realised I'd misread it and think its 5.
new players don't get dealt in until button is on seat 4

what about option 6?

[boldie]

it's option 5.

In any of the other options the new guy on seat 3 would walk into a BB only situation for the first hand when he just sits down at the table..this is wrong. What is even more wrong is having new guy on seat 2 post a SB..that can't happen. they also both can not benefit from the button this round.

So, effectively, the guy who is supposed to be on the button stays on the button. the guy in seat 4 who was already on the table (UTg last hand) will post BB only. (No SB in the pot) and  hand after that there's a dead button. Easy...and I thought rather obvious.

What if seat 2 wasnt empty and seat 2 put out seat 3 - you wouldn't make the new seat 3 put in the BB.  So why should you do it in this situation?
