Keeping out for small blind ( Dead Fee)

[Sam29]

The system itself forces out the new people on the table if they are on the small blind seats and it does charge a dead fee in the next round. It's the loss that we have to leave with without our fault. Is there any way to avoid the dead fee for such cases?

Not sure I am understanding your question, but I will give it a go. When you are moved to another table, and you are seated into the SB seat, you will be skipped. This is to keep the blinds going at the same rate for the players who had been at the table before your arrival. If you arrive in the BB seat, then you will be in the proper order, and will post BB and play the hand.

i think the "DEAD FEE" is only for the real money tables, it does not actually take it on the play money side (but it does say it)

This fee is for both real money and free tables.
Also it is not only in Omaha..

Carmine,
Is my question clear to you after ShaunLovesKerry's reply?
Or you want me to explain it again?

ur a lucky man then lol it takes the small blind plus the big b lind of me.. the small blind goes straight into the middle of the table and ur big blind stays infront of u

I still have no idea what a DEAD FEE is. It would be nice if somebody could explain it using words, and not all the abbreviations that make a statement unreadable.

ok i shall try my best

if im sitting at a ring table and loose all my chips and re buy but i get skipped for siting in the small blind seat i get charged a dead fee for missing my blinds.. the dead fee is the cost of the small blind plus you have to pay the big blind aswell

you also hav to play a dead fee if you sit out when the blinds come to you so when you join back in you have to pay the dead fee for missing the blinds

[Carmine555]

Thank you. I do not play the ring tables, and was not aware of such a thing.

that has been my experience unless you r playing on a ring table

[mreges]

if your away and you come back your charged a dead fee even on the free tables its kinda odd.

[Grovewilks]

Its there to stop players leaving a table when there SB or BB are due and then stepping back to the table when they have passed them

i have paid the dead fee on free side ring tables.

i'm always charged with dead fee, if i deal out and return.
so, i think the best way to avoid it is just leave and comeback.
