Missing Blinds (2 dead small blinds)
I was playing at the Borgata (3/6) and the player to my right had missed his blinds and was posting. He placed a $5 dollar chip for his post and the dealer made change and put $2 in the pot and $3 in front of the player as his post.
I saw this, and asked why there was $2 in the pot and was told because he'd missed two blinds. I think he meant a small and big blind. He started dealing so I shut up and tried to remember if I had ever seen that happen before. After the hand, I'd decided that I had never seen it before, so asked the dealer again why he'd taken two dead dollars from the player, but I didn't get any better of an explanation. The player who posted didn't seem to care so I just shut up again, but I'm curious: Is there any time a player puts two dead small blinds in the pot and posts the big blind? Edit: Please don't make this a dealer bashing thread. I would rate ~75% of the dealers I get at Borgata as being excellent, 20% Average/Acceptable, <5% bad. That seems pretty good to me.

Never seen any such thing. Player posts the big, and a single small blind goes in the middle as dead money. But only a single small blind. Unless the blinds in that game are $3/$2, sounds like the player got shafted.

The blinds are $3/$1 and I figured the player got shafted, but didn't want to hold up the game when the player didn't care, and everybody at the table seemed to accept the dealer's action. I just wanted to make sure if it happens to me I'll be right to call the floor.
