This may be the dumbest question ever, but I just gotta ask...
When I started out at Stars $.05/$.10 tables, I just auto-posted blinds and jumped right in without waiting for the Big Blind (hell, it's only a nickel).
Once I moved up to $.25/$.50 (now at $.50/$1.00), I stopped auto-posting and will now wait for the BB before I enter the game. A quarter (or 50 cents) just seems like a lot just so I can play "right now." So my stingy little self prefers to wait. It also gives me some time to evaluate the table. Do most people do this, or is it the other way around?
Anyway, the above wasn't my real question (sorry, I tend to wander, both mentally and physically).
When I am playing, I figure I paid for a full orbit with the SB/BB, and will play until the BB comes to me again if I feel I want to leave. Sometimes (maybe all the time, that's why I'm asking), I swear I will check my account balance after I leave and I'm one BB less than I thought I was! Since I don't auto-post anymore (but I'm still very quick, so please don't think I'm one of those people who delays the game for everyone else), when the BB comes back to me, I get the choice to "Post" or "Sit Out" (at Stars and Party).
If you choose to "Sit Out," do you still get charged the BB? Maybe my mind is playing tricks on me, and I hope that it is, but any confirmation from you wonderful people here at 2+2 would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
