Button in tournament play

[Zybomb]

While in a hand the SB winds up busting out of a tournament. The next hand what happens to the button. Does it go to the BB so simply gets to skip his SB and the BB gets to skip his BB and post just the SB? Or does it remain on the button from last hand and thus not effect the blinds. I always had done it the first way, but I had some people fairly confident that it was done the 2nd way. Does it maybe depend on the tournament? (I know online it just proceeds)

I believe most online sites do it the way you explained it in the first part. However, I think it's more dependent on the site/house rules than anything else.

I usually try to stick with the rules that Poker Star uses, since I'm the most familiar with them and they're probably the most respected tourney site. *Stars does go by the rule you explained in the first part.

The correct thing to do here is to have a dead button. The button sits in front of the just busted SB's seat, and the formet BB and UTG player post their SB and BB accordingly.

The whole idea here is that no one should be allowed to skip posting their blind(s).

The fact that there are poker sites that still handle thing wrong astounds me each and every time I see it. They are definitely WRONG if they allow people to skip their blinds.
