Continually Posting SB and BB in CO
 

There's one regular at the casino here that ALWAYS misses his BB and SB, and posts both in the CO (2/5 blind structure). From his perspective, this has to be -EV, but should it be tolerated by the dealer? Would this annoy anyone else if you were playing at his/her table?

I've seen a guy do it at a 10-20 table. He did it a number of times then a few guys at the table started to do the same and told him they will do the same untill he stops it.

Would this be irritating? hell friggin' yeah.

Do I care tho? Hell friggin' NO.

Let the idiot punish himself, and let him feel smug about his "smartness." Sheesh tho, you hope this guy is sterile, so he won't reproduce.

If you've kicked him in the nuts a few times, he probably is sterile, along with most of the poker playing community.

More money put in the pot by people who haven't seen their cards yet? I love it.

There's a mechanism in place to deal with people who are absent for their blind(s), so I don't really think there's anything for the dealer to tolerate.

My inner nit wants to say that posting a big blind and then posting a small blind and then not posting any blinds for 8 hands is how the game is played and that's what you signed up for and it's rude not to stick to that. But even my inner nit can't see any point to that argument.

If for some reason you're OK with putting $7 in without seeing your cards rather than $5 one hand and $2 the next, why should I complain about a situation that's probably more advantageous for me than for you, to whatever minor extent that it's to anyone's advantage/disadvantage?

I suppose there's a small (very, very small) complaint that by paying both blinds in the CO you avoid being forced into hands in early position, and have the advantage of late position when you do pay. I imagine any minor advantage this gains is cancelled by the minor disadvantage of putting both your blinds in at once.

Arguing over it would probably be about the same about arguing the +/- EV of posting immediately on sitting down vs. waiting for the BB.

this wouldn't annoy me at all, and I would greet the idea of the regulars threatening to emulate him with umitigated enthusiasim.
