when a table breaks A player may enter the botton position and play?
 You can enter the small blind and play?
 I have many players who say you should wait out the button

Estimated thanks Mike.
 not understood my question.
 
explain again
Breaking Tables

one of the players you happen to sit where this button. You can participate in this hand?
or participate only in the next hand

for me if he can play.
The rules say that only can not play from the small blind and the button

it's like that?

again sorry for my English

Hi David: See TDA Rule 9... players going from broken table can get any seat including the button.

Similar language is being proposed to clarify seating for late registers, alternates, and re-entries.

Just to clarify Mike's answer ...

The only place they cannot be dealt a hand is between the small blind and the button.

Uniden32,

 Your answer is correct but it still offers confusion. I thought that using: a vacant seat between the button and SB would explain it better.
Your post just made me think back to a discussion from long ago, on the forum...it was never changed and probably never will be.

This was reconfirmed at the summit this year: New players, alternates, re-entries, and players coming from a broken game are eligible for a hand in any spot EXCEPT between the button position and a player posting the small blind.  For me, the way I've trained staff is "if the seat could be dealt in if no one went out last hand, the seat can still be dealt in." Obvs, the button would have been dealt in if he hadn't gone out, so the new button is also dealt in.  The empty seat between button and small blind wouldn't have been dealt in so it is still not dealt in.
