Flush
At most games, a new player starting between the small blind and the button have the option to "buy the button" or wait for the dealer button to pass. For anyone who doesn't know, "buying the button" means the new player have the option to post a live big blind and a dead small blind. The next hand, the new player becomes the button.
The alternative is to not get dealt a hand, wait, then receive a new hand in the cutoff position.
In my game, I ask the new player whether he'll like to buy the button or play for free. If he chooses to play for free, he receives a FREE lammer (a tiny button with the word FREE on it). The two players to his left post the small blind and big blind as normal. After the hand is over, the dealer button skips pass the new player to the player who was in the small blind. The FREE lammer serves as a reminder for the button to skip.
Does anyone else do this? I'm not sure what keywords to search, so I don't know if anyone else's game have this option.
