Re: how do you avoid fighting about rules in a tournament?
Cut down on fights by having the rules agreed on beforehand.
Do you need answers to these specific ones? Or will you get the rules online? I'll answer anyway:
1) Who posts blinds when a player is ousted?
The blinds stay the same as they should have been- person to the left of the button is the SB, two to the left is the BB. HOWEVER, you can't skip posting a blind OR post a blind twice.
If the next BB person was ousted, then the player to his left is the new BB (two from button). If the next SB is ousted (he was BB when he was ousted), there is no SB on this hand, only the BB.
2) What if two non-consecutive players are ousted at the same time?
Depends on where they are and if they affect the blinds- see #1
3) Who posts the big blind when there are only two players left in the game?
The button posts the SB and acts first preflop (normal action, acting before the BB). Normal play after that.
4) If you say "I call, and I raise", is that a string bet?
Yes
3) If you say "I will raise" and start putting little stacks of chips in front of you one after the other while watching your opponents reaction, is that a string bet
No, that's angle shooting. They should announce what the raise is up to, or put the chips out in one or two motions, or both. Stringing out the raise so you can get a read should be banned.
