Tourney: Question about player being blinded out and BB raise

[PantsOnFire]

For live tourneys, a player's hand is killed as soon as it is dealt to him not he is not there. Obviously in home tourneys we wait for guys who have gone to the can.

Online, a player sometimes has all-in protection so he can actually win one hand while sitting out. Usually this all-in protection is a one time thing and next time he will be out.
