so it does give extra information to the button.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't like this argument at all. Any action which gives the button more information is illegal? That's how position works!

I say any action you take when it's your turn to act is fine. "Action" means "Fold, Call, or Raise". If the current bet is 0, make it "Fold, Check, or Bet", but that first option should still be legal.

ok, i just re-read your post and you did mention that it gives the button *extra* information. Thing is, this "extra" information readily becomes available to the SB as well. Both parties gain the exact same information: that the BB is no longer in the hand. So now the button gets to act w/ the information that SB checks, and BB is out, while SB can now react to the fact that the button will take his action knowing that BB is out... The new information that the button gets is negated, since it can be used by the SB as well.
