So, in a $2-4 game the small blind will be $1. In $15-30, the small blind is $7, and in $5-10, the small blind is $2.
This bet is usually half the minimum bet of the game, although in some games, the fraction is slightly different. The first blind is called the 'small blind'. However, only two players will 'post' or 'put up' the blinds. Blindsīecause we have a player 'on the button' we now ask two players to 'post the large or small blinds please.' The blinds serve a purpose similar to antes, in that they put forced money into the pot that gives players an incentive to enter the hand. When the cards are dealt to players, they are dealt in a manner as if the player was actually dealing in a live environment. Unlike Seven Card Stud wherein the dealer deals each opening round clockwise around the table starting with the player closest to the left, the dealer in Hold'em will start to deal each game contingent upon which player has the 'button.' The button is a graphical representation ('D') of which player is the 'dealer.' Although our dealer will be dealing the Hold'em game, the player who has the button placed in front of his seat gets to play his cards as if he were the actual dealer.
