Betting Problem

There are two players in the game:

Player1 gives low blind bet $1
but Player2 sits out without giving its high blind bet.

What will happen to $1 paid by player1? Should it be returned to Player1 back or he has to wait to wiat for another player to join room and pay his blindbet to proceed the game. What if player1 also wants to leave immediately after player2 seated out?

Thanks in anticipation...

Hi Mandeep

The blind should be returned to the player who posted it...He got no action on the hand and it is his money......He should not be required to wait for another player!

If the second player does not pay a blind then the $1 is returned to player 1 and the hand doesn't get played. The puck doesn't move and you wait for a player.

In these decisions if you think about what would be fair to everybody involved, the fair thing is almost always the rule. In this case it would be unfair to not give player 1 back his money and it would be unfair to move the puck.
