Thank you for providing the explanation and reasoning for using the "Forward Moving Button" system. The way I interpret it, it seems that this method is more so designed for Ring game play, not tournament play. I reference the following from Poker Stars "This is because online, players will join and leave games much more often. A table can go from 9 players to 2 players, and then back again in just a few moments." Never have I ever played a tournament in a casino that did not use the "Dead Button" method. Being honest, I can not recall one way or the other how this situation is handled in tournament play online. Oh well, it is what it is. Thanks for the response.

Either way, someone gets a benefit. I prefer to let someone skip a blind (which won't matter if they play the hand anyway) than let someone get the button two hands in a row. A dead button on your left is the same as you having the button again.
