I disagree with Bob Ciaffone. Who is right?
What happens in your card room when a player misses the small blind only and wants to post in late position? I would say that a posted small blind is always dead to the center, Bob says it is live up to the amount of the minimum bet. Here is the excerpt from Robert's Rules. There are a couple of other spots I disagree with Bob, but I was really suprised that he took this position.
[ QUOTE ] A player who misses any or all blinds can resume play by either posting all the blinds missed or waiting for the big blind. If you choose to post the total amount of the blinds, an amount up to the size of the minimum opening bet is live. The remainder is taken by the dealer to the center of the pot and is not part of your bet. When it is your next turn to act, you have the option to raise. [/ QUOTE ] |

At the hustler a missed blind requires a full post with the amount = to the small blind put in the middle. Option is allowed once action is back to player.

Missed small blind is dead and that's the only scheme that makes sense to me. Otherwise you get to play your small blind from much better position without penalty.

It would have to be dead. Otherwise I would get dealt out every small blind and post behind. This is the reason for it being dead in every cardroom I've played in, isn't it?
I always thought that It would be more profitable to post behind everytime and never post if front of the button. I'm sure you would make everyone mad, and once everyone caught on there would be no more posting in front. amirite or no? |

Re: I disagree with Bob Ciaffone. Who is right?
At red rock station the small blind is definitely live.
Even more perplexing: a few times I got up to go to the bathroom or take a call after posting the BB, but missing the small, and they let me post the SB - live- on the button. Which makes it so if you ever needed to get up for one hand only (the bathrooms are really close to the limit tables) you could abuse this rule. Other times though they kept the button where it was, made me post a SB just to the left of it, and had three blinds. So it depends on the dealer. I hope I am explaining this correctly..... |

[/ QUOTE ] I have seen it live in rooms with small games where they don't bother to know how things "should" be. [/ QUOTE ] For being a fairly big room with what are considered to be good dealers, there is a lot of variation in what the dealers think are the rules there. For instance, I have seen dealers still as of three weeks ago (when I last played) not know what the friggin cap was on a limit game betting round! Another example: there is always confusion about the "unlimited betting when it is heads-up rule" - it doesn't have to be headsup going into the street to be unlimited like at some rooms - it just has to be headsup when the cap is reached. I've seen that applied both ways at RR. |
