Tourney Determining blinds / button at beginning of heads-up (1 Viewer)

[Frogzilla]

It's impossible for both button and big blind to advance as normal when the dealer is the one who gets eliminated 3-ways. How do you folks handle this in your home tourneys?

The setup:

Player A - Dealer
Player B - SB
Player C - BB

Player A - eliminated

Option 1:
Player B: D/SB
Player C: BB

Option 2:
Player B: BB
Player C: D/SB

Player C should not be BB for two consecutive hands.

No player ever pays the BB twice in a row. The SB is always the button.

Player C is the button and SB

follow the blinds, not the button

The big blind always advances to the next player -- yes, always -- regardless of anything else (number of remaining players, previous button location, who got knocked out, etc.).

The big blind drives the show, the button just follows along in the appropriate location.

Player C should not be BB for two consecutive hands.

Thanks, folks. Pretty clear majority here.

A home tourney I was at a week back did things the other way...someone was BB two hands in a row. I said “hey are you sure it works like that?” And they said “yep that’s how we do it”. I was wondering if it’s just a preference thing or if they are weird... this poll pretty conclusively shows they are weird.

Appreciated.
