Re: I disagree with Bob Ciaffone. Who is right?
I've had this discussion repeatedly on my staff, and I think that Ciaffone has it right.
The key principle is to protect the other players from a forced raise.
When posting BB+SB, the SB must be posted dead. Otherwise, the other players would have to call a forced raise (SB amount) on top of the regular bet (BB) to enter the pot.
When posting only the SB, this is no longer the case, so the SB should remain live (just as if it had been posted normally).
