Assuming this is top section, why can't Sparks in seat seven get the button and post a big blind on the button (note that next hand he posts a small blind with the button to his left). The player who is now in seat eight moved at an inopportune time, yet by doing so he missed a blind and would now post another big blind in seat eight

Rick,
You are right. I have less experience with the forward moving button. Yes, I did enjoy your post about fading blinds, I had forgotten about the single blind games (those were being played for a couple of months before I left). If seat 7 is given the big blind onthe button the next hand he can take the small blind as a trailing blind. On this first hand is there a real reason seat 8 cannot take the small blind having just paid the big blind and receive the button the next hand having paid both blinds. I am in the moniroty view, but I am not a an of the forward moving button not only becasue of situations like this but becasue I think allowing someone to pay a blind in the best position is a lto more of an injustice than allowing someone the button twice in a row when the second time they woudl have been in the cutoff seat which is a good position to be in anyway. In NL an PL games I am in favor of moving the button to the next active player and having the 2 players after the button post blinds and not worry about missed blinds etc.
