Could you do this and does it make sense?
 
In a limit game, leave when it's your small blind (or sit out) and then come back in with position and just post the dead and big blind? You are paying the same per round but you don't have to play from early position.

Does this make any sense? Just came to me while I was on the throne. Daily musings.

You'd have to wait for the button to pass though, so you'd never get to play from the BEST position. And you'd be paying the same amount of blinds for 2 less hands (BB and button) per orbit.

In summary, bad idea.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Just crossed my mind. And it's actually 3 less hands. SB,BB, and Button (right?). Just a throne thought. Must be all the weed.

I've thought of this. Skip the BB and SB and post the BB (some table allow you to sit out and post on BB). So you would be paying BB/8 hands = .125BB
Well if you pay the BB and SB, you are paying 1.5BB/10 hands, which is .150BB

So you actually save some money, and when you post, you get good position with it.

You're wrong. It doesn't work like this.

It works like that one somes sites, that don't have dead small blind rule. Or sites which allow you to get up and sit back down, and just post BB.

And i think I got my numners mixed a bit.
for 10 handed table
1BB (posted Button+1) = 1BB/7hands = .143 BB/hand (and you get late position when you ante).
1BB + SB (normal posting) = 1.5BB/10 hands = .150 BB/hand (and you have the opputunity of being first each round).
