Replacing the Button player (ex SB)
February 25, 2008 by frenchflush.
Hello,
Do you agree if: A is button / B is SB / C is BB … B is eliminated … X is arriving because of a closing table (not to balance) … B seat is the only seat free … X seat there and I make it:
X is button / C is SB / D is BB !
For me there is no reason in this case to have X wait for the button to pass BECAUSE PLAYER “A” ALLREADY HAD DURING THE PREVIOUS HAND THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE THE BUTTON (and to play at the best position).
In fact if B was still there, A, C and D would be now in this same situation: A as cut-off, C as SB and D as BB!
So X takes is seat and immediatly plays as the button BECAUSE IT CHANGES ABSOLUTELY NOTHING FOR THE OTHER PLAYERS!
I ask that because so many people used with this internet eternal sentence “a new player can’t play immediatly at button or small blind” …
Your opinion?
GG
