About the Blinds

Hello,

Say a person is the next blind however is busted out immediately on the earlier hand, how will you assign then the small/big blind? For an instance, in the present hand, small blind is suddenly out then the deal goes to the player who paid the big blind, who no longer has the small blind position, who will put up the small or big blinds?

In smaller tables, things are more different. In an event with 4 players for the pot, big blind was busted out in an instant and so I was lead then to the small blind position for the following hand. Others at the table said I should put up both blinds, in addition to the present big blind position. What do you think?

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Matt
Matt,

The easy way to remember is this. If the big blind for the next hand busts out the prior hand, then the person that was supposed to be the small blind remains the small blind and the big blind moves to the next player after the busted player. In a situation where the person that was supposed to be the small blind busts out the prior hand, there will be no small blind the next hand and just the big blind. If the person that was supposed to be the dealer busts out the prior hand, the button freezes and the blinds go to the people that are supposed to post the blinds.
