It can get very complicated so it would take a long time to run through all the button rules. This is especially true in a cash game where you have people who get up and then come back all the time. Putting out missed blind buttons, knowing where dead money goes from a missed blind, and knowing where the button goes can be hard to learn. It also depends where you are as well. Some states like california use the advance the button rule, this is where you will have no dead button because the button is moved up to the next live player, but in most places they see this rule as unfair because it gives the player an unfair advantage, so most states us the dead button. Also you can never get the button unless you have paid all your blinds in turn, some casinos will allow you to buy the button when you sit down in between blinds, by posting a small and big blind. But most casinos you have to pay all blinds in turn to be able to play the button. Also knowing where a dead small big blind can hard for people who only play and don't deal, there can never be a dead big blind, ever. Just remember that you have to pay your blinds in the order they come to you, you can never skip a blind in poker, even in cash games if you miss your blind you still have to make it up, you also can't come in as the small blind, you have to sit out one hand and let the button pass you if you are coming from another table. I would suggest you go buy the pro poker dealers hand book. It is by Dan Paymar, this book has everything you need to know about the rules and how to deal a good poker game. good luck.
