Tourney How would you rule it? (2 Viewers)

[Poker Zombie]

I mis-interpreted the OP before my previous post.

@BGinGA was spot on. I posted the hand in the TDA forum and this is exactly what should have been ruled.

This is my explanation of what happened that I posted on the TDA forum:

Here's what happened. Seat positions shown are for the start of Hand 1.

Seat 1: Button
Seat 2: Small Blind
Seat 3: Big Blind
Seat 4: UTG
Seat 5: UTG +1

1. At the conclusion of Hand 1, the player in Seat 3 (big blind) was eliminated.
2. At the start of the Hand 2, the button was moved to Seat 2, with Seat 4 posting the small blind and Seat 5 posting the big blind (whoops!).
4. At the conclusion on Hand 2, the button was moved to Seat 3 as a dead button, with Seat 4 and Seat 5 now realizing they will need to post the small and big blinds two times in a row.

What is the correct ruling to resolve this problem?

From the TDA forum:

Sometimes, common poker rules are not found in the TDA Rules. In some cases, the relevant rule can be found in Roberts Rules of Poker (RRoP).

RRoP Version 11
IRREGULARITIES
1. In button games, if it is discovered that the button was placed incorrectly on the previous hand, the button and blinds will be corrected for the new hand in a manner that gives every player one chance for each position on the round (if possible).

So, to correct the error made in hand #2, in hand #3, the dead button would be seat #3 and seat #4 would be the BB, and there would be no SB. In hand #4, the button would move to seat #4, seat #5 would be SB, and seat #6 would be BB.

Thanks for digging that out or RRoP. While I have taken the time to thoroughly learn TDA rules, RRoP sent me into a droning slumber.
