Poker Blind Bets and Video Poker Odds

Dear Mark,

Could you please give an example of the blinds in Texas Hold'em? I am confused as to how much they cost the players that are forced to pay them. Manuel D.

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.

Dear Mark,

Are the odds of hitting, for instance, a straight flush on a Triple Play video poker machine different from that of when playing on a single-hand machine?.Cindy B

Playing any three, five, 10, 50 or even a 100-Play video poker machine does not change the arithmetic. Each and every hand has its own deck, and the odds of completing a straight flush are exactly the same, except that, when you play a multiple play machine, you just happen to have more chances of it's occurring.

As for playing strategy, Cindy, play all multiple play games as you would play regular video poker. More chances at winning combinations does not mean you should wander from correct play.
