Head exploding right here because either you have come up with an insane solution or you are using words in a weird manner.
So if I interpret this to mean what it means if these words mean what I think they mean you have a new player in seat 2 being allowed to enter the game in the SB but you are making his blind dead. This would be absurd.
So I have to assume that you think "dead small" means something other than post the blind as a dead blind. You probably are using it to mean there is no SB (I hate when people call this a "Dead Blind"). If in fact you mean it should be posted dead ... why?
I have two issues with this solution. The most minor objection is that you are allowing the player in seat 9 to move seats and deny the player in seat 10 the chance to buy the button. While I don't terribly care if the player misses his chance to buy the button ... it doesn't seem fair to me for the player to lose the opportunity simply because the player in seat 9 wants a seat change.
My bigger objection to this is that where do you put the button the next hand? Seat 2 can't come in on the button so he doesn't get it. Seat three hasn;t posted a small blind yet so he doesn't get it ..... and according to you a player can't get the button two hands in row in your room ..... so now what (I suspect the answer is that you are now realizing that the button can stay in the seat for two hands)
(So if as I suspect you would allow the button to stay in seat 1 for two hands .... why can't we let it sit in seat 10 for 2 hands?) .
Also you say that two big blinds is not an option in your room .... you would allow the player in seat 10 to post his blinds behind the button .... isn't that a hand with two big blinds? I know that saying two big blinds brings up the idea of the forward moving button ...... but in this particular instance it is more like having a single big blind and a player posting his missed blinds (actually that is exactly what it is). In a forward moving button rule scenario there wouldn't be a dead small blind posted and the next hand would have a small blind posted on the button which is not happening here.
