I'm wondering if anyone that plays iPoker can shed some light on an issue. Looking through some iPoker transcripts, it appears that they treat paying missed small blinds as live money rather than dead. Can anyone confirm this or rule it out?

Just to give a specific example of the answer I am looking for. A player posts a big blind one hand. The next hand they are to post the small blind and sit out. They wait a couple of hands for the button to pass and then pay their missed small blind so they can get in the hand. In this hand where they pay the missed small blind, how much does it cost them to call the big blind if it is unraised when it comes to them? Specifically, do they pay the difference between the small blind and big blind only, or the full value of the big blind?

Thanks,
Terence.

I dont know, but you could just sit at a micro limit table and test it out with a few cents?

I noticed this today, and thought of your post. They complete their "out of turn" small blind as normal, and pay a half big blind more.

Wow. Just realised how badly I worded this! They just complete their "out of turn" small blind as normal.
