Case #2: New/returning player is on seat 2.The next hand he/she will naturally be the big blind so he/she will post only the big blind, regardless if he/she missed any blinds before. Case #1: New/returning player is on seat 6.*by returning player i mean a player that was previously sitting out and now he/she is sitting back in (somewhere in the middle of the current hand). *by new player i mean a player that joins the table for the first time. Please feel free to correct me if i'm wrong. I will post here my current knowledge of what can happen in each of the situations. Dealer is seat 1, SB is seat 3 and BB is seat 5. In the picture above there is already a hand in progress with only 3 players seated on seat 1, 3 and 5 respectively. That being said i have drawn an image to better illustrate what i'm asking for. As i am coding a play money texas holdem ring game at the moment, i am facing with the problem of a new player joining or rejoining a hand already in progress.
