Buying the Button
Last night on High Stakes, Matusow came in late andbought the button by putting up the small and big blinds. I don't know this rule. Can someone explain it? Does he do that and then buttton just automatically comes to him? Can you do that at anytime?

Re: Buying the Button
You can only do it when you've missed the big blind. So instead of waiting a hand, you can "buy the big blind" by paying both the big (that you missed) and the small. You are the only blind in that hand. The next hand you get the button.

[/ QUOTE ] Even if the blinds are a few past you thus "resetting" the blinds and making others pay blinds after you when they may have just done so a hand or two before? (I mean in hands following that hand) It seems like a good way to foster collusion by having someone get up and leave the table, come back and buy the button so his partner could retain the advantage position (assuming he is later to act) and allowing some to see a few extra "free" hole cards. Imagine you are two guys to the left of someone who buys the button. What if you were the big blind the hand previous to the guy buying the button? Then you'd be the big blind again right? |

Re: Buying the Button
In Engrish:
If he missed the blinds he can ante up the small & big blinds to play that hand and stay in as normal for the rest of the hands till the blinds reach him again. Otherwise if you miss the blinds you have to wait till the blinds gets back to you to play. [x]Wrong forum [x]72 is a noob [x]thread needs more nakid chicks. |

Re: Buying the Button
+1 to the nekid chicks, and thanks for the Engrish. I saw it on TV, so I put it in here. I always thought you only had to post the big blind to get back in the game, not both.
