About the Blinds and the Cards

Player after sitting down and placing himself at the table will most likely face things concerning the blinds and the cards. Most likely, with blinds, he or she has to do the posting and waiting. And with the cards, proper assessment.

Posting or Waiting for the Blind

Normally, in Texas Holdem, players take turns paying the blinds. And in order to ensure there is fairness on the share of blinds, new player should choose either of the two – wait a few hands until the blind comes around to him or her naturally or “post” an extra blind and get a hand right away. Most likely, if the player prefers to post rather than wait, one hand after he or she will be a regular player and dealer will continue to deal him or her in.

Basically, the chips the player has to post should be “live” which count for him or her as a bet. In the event the action is raised beforehand, post counts as credit toward calling the bet if player desired. If otherwise, then there is no need to bet any more chips to stay in the hand.

On Stud Poker on the other hand, there are no blinds and no waiting instead there are antes. Right after the player has placed himself and after the very next hand, player should post his or her ante.

Cards and Who is Dealt In

Your cards will be displayed in front of your seat once you are dealt. Other players also have their cards displayed in front of them. Usually this is the set up so that players can see who is dealt in. However, immediately right after player folds, cards disappear.

By all means, you must remember who was dealt out, and who was dealt in and folded for better judgment.
