Stars: Why no \"dead button\" rule?
I play a lot at Stars, mostly tournies - so can't really speak for cash games.
But why is it that there is no dead button rule at Stars?
That is, consider a four handed game:
On hand 1, the player in the SB gets eliminted. Now, according to the rules of all cardrooms I have ever visited, the button will be "dead" at the seat where the SB previously sat - the player previously in the BB will post the SB and the CO will post the BB.
But on PokerStars, the button will now move to the player previously in the BB - having him skip the SB, and the CO player won't post a BB this rotation.
This has to be a mistake, and given the amount of players that play at Stars, someone must have pointed this out to them before.
So, what is their response?
