A couple more things:

1) If the big blind leaves and the small blind remains at the end of a hand, the small blind becomes teh button, as normal. The person who would have had to post the BB, though, still posts the BB, and there's no SB in the hand. The next hand, the button stays where it is, and two blinds are posted. The next hand, the button moves as normal.

(There's a "dead small blind".)

2) You can't join the waiting list while viewing a table, afaik. An unfortunate thing happens when someone sits in a seat but doesn't "sit in" the game (they buy some chips but don't tell the software to post their blinds, etc.). In the lobby, it appears that the table isn't full, and you can't join the wait list. When you go to the table, the seats are full, but someone is greyed out. It therefore takes longer to get a table. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]
