Missed small blind

<< < (2/3) > >>

pokerfish:
Just a for instance.... why not miss you SB everytime and then post is behind the B and get position? It always is dead.... keeps from shots being taken....

chet:
Ok, Ok, Ok, Ok  I capitulate!!  I understand what Jan and Stuart are saying and it while it makes sense, it doesn't seem to me to follow what Bob C. has in RRoP.

MrScott:
  I do see Chets point, but I think Jan summed it up perfectly in saying, 'if its live, why not just miss the SB every round and pay it behind the button'
  Thanks everyone...

chet:
I have a response from Bob Ciaffone, author of Robert's Rules of Poker, which I have forwarded to the TDA Board for their consideration.  I have not posted Bob's response yet as I want to give the Board time to consider.  Also, this is really not a tournament, but a cash game issue.  Just another reason, in my little pea brain at least, to hope we can come to a consensus before a decision is posted.  Just remember, the final decision may very well be that we agree to disagree.   :D

Chet, the rules won't be the same for live regardless. If a player is not at the table, his blind is taken and he is dealt in of course. Live it can certainly be up to each cardroom what they want to do. I've read Bob's email and while I know the situation he is talking about, I think this finally has become a standard rule and don't see any reason to change it. That said, each cardroom may decide for themselves of course....
