Texas Hold’em is different from ante games in that there are blinds. For those of you who are confused by how the action is forced in this game you might want to read the article below.
In Texas Hold’em, a blind bet, or blind, is a forced wager that must be posted by two players before anybody gets a peek at their cards. Blinds are an alternative to antes for initially getting money in the pot. A “big blind” and “little blind” are the terms used to refer to the players who post these bets.
These compulsory wagers that the first two players to the dealer’s left are required to pay play out like this. The little blind, the first player to the dealer’s left, pays half the low limit. Say for instance in a $10/$20 game, the little blind’s initial contribution would be $5. The big blind, second player to the dealer’s left, would stake the low limit, or $10 in the $10/$20 game.
