I would like to ask something but I don’t know if it would make sense. What will you do if you want to use the facilities or want to get some of the free grub? Will you leave your chips or take them with you in case?

Another thing, what if while you are gone, one of the blinds passes you by, ante up one more time?

Thanks,

Norman,

You leave your chips at the table. If the blinds pass you by while you are gone, it depends on whether you are in a cash game or a tournament. If you are in a cash game, you must post the small and big blind to receive a hand. Otherwise, you must wait until it is your big blind again to play. If you are in a tournament, you will continue to be dealt and your blinds and antes posted while you are gone. When you come back, you play as normal.

I’m curious, what will happen to the blinds in the event the small or large blind goes out of the play? Do you think the blinds go instantly to the two players to the left of the dealer?

Also, I would like to ask if the players blind skipped instead of obliging a player to put in a blind out of turn on the face of it. Any idea?

Thanks and great site!

Charles,

If you mean that the players that would have received the blinds next were eliminated from a tournament, then yes, the next two players would be the blinds. If you mean that the players folded their hands, then the blind become part of the main pot.
