Blind Rule Fix
Friday, April 24, 2009 - ProductMan
The wheels are always in motion at UltimateBet. Our gaming software is constantly evolving, but it isn’t a work in progress. Our developers not only make a habit of burning the midnight oil to deliver brand spanking new features, but they are always on the clock ready to right any sudden glitches that might surface.
Players will notice that the rules for blinds now correctly follow the rules in brick and mortar poker rooms.
We addressed the following issues in our recent update:
• Players will no longer be able to enter a table and play on the small blind.
• In one case, Player A was accidentally forced to post two big blinds in a row after Player B left the table when it was his turn to post the big blind, only to reemerge on the next hand. Based on our rules, there should have been a dead blind and Player B should have been charged again to auto post. We’ve fixed this issue to prevent rat holing.
• We resolved logic issues during tournament play when a player went all-in but could not afford the big blind.
You can see the logic behind our blind rule changes. Check out the rules for posting blinds at http://www.ultimatebet.com/poker-rules.
