Why No Dead Button?
I was wondering... why do some casinos not want to have a "dead button"? Is this better for the players or for the house?
For instance, Winstar in OK:
If the SB gets knocked out, the next hand the button moves to the person to the left of that person (now the SB & the Button). Then there are 2 big blinds to the left of the button. After that hand, the button moves left, and that guy posts the SB, the person to his left also posts a SB, and the next person posts a BB. The following hand it "fixes itself" since the next button has posted both the SB & the BB.
This seems far too complicated -- would be much easier to just have a dead button. I'm not sure what they do when the BB gets knocked out. I guess there is no SB on the next hand.
