And the other remaining player becomes the SB and button. If the button player busts 3-handed (normally due to be the next BB), then the big blind moves to his left (to the previous SB) and the other player is the small blind (because he can't be the BB twice in a row) and therefore also the button.Įven if two players go out simultaneously 4-handed, the big blind position moves normally (if possible), unless that action lands on the previous BB player. The big blind is always posted in tournament play (and never twice in a row by the same player, under any circumstances other than possibly a table consolidation with seat redraw). Per the rules, the button position is driven by the big blind position when heads-up - even on the first hand. The dealer, the floor, and both commentators were adamant idiots. Once a straddle has been placed forward (before any cards are dealt. While some casinos allow a player to position, the most common form of straddle comes from the player who’s Under-the-Gun. Both rule sets (TDA and WSOP) address heads-up play - the big blind player is first determined and the other player is the small blind and button. Beat the Bots in Online Poker is essentially a third blind (bigger blind) added into a hand of poker and is most often 2x the amount of the big blind.
Heads-up play is heads-up play - when there are only two players remaining (doh). And that concept is both ridiculous and insane.
