HAven't read any other posts....but here are the two most important points:

a) The big blind must go in a continuous circle around the table hitting each and every player still in as it goes around.

b) No one will ever miss a big blind. Ever.

So you can have dead dealers, and dead small blinds...and very rarely both! As long as you never skip your big.

(and neither the button nor the small ever reverse directions either.)
