Re: Missed Small Blind
 

It's standard at all the casinos in missouri that you can wait for your big blind or pay the missed blind to come in whenever. BTW, congrats on your 10,000th post mets [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Now you've got me curious and I'll make sure I ask the floor next time I'm there. I remeber the dealer saying "this isn't online" when I told him I would wait for my blind though.

what if you are gone until it is time for your blinds?? You think they would make you put them up twice?

yeah...doesn't quite make sense. My memory of the situation must be off.

I was just wondering whether you could clarify the rules surrounding missed small blinds.

If I sit out on the small blind, when I return after the button has passed me, should I only have to make up the small blind or should I have to pay both blinds as a penalty?

small blind only

Also, if it is just the small blind, is this bet live?

It has been done both ways, but I prefer it to be live

My understanding of the rules is that you would only have to pay the small blind but some people have told me you should have to pay both due to the positional advantage you gain by coming back in late position.

If you miss your small blind, you miss your button--and have to make up the
small blind. making up a blind you have not missed is crazy.
