Button and Blind Use
In button games, the dealer is the player who is not participating in the game. His main role is to do all the dealings. The button is a round disk which reveals the player holding the dealer position. The player who has the button is the last to receive cards on the initial deal and places the last hand of the round. The button moves clockwise for proper rotation.
One or more blind bets are stimulate a good game. Blinds are posted before the players can peek at their cards. Blinds are actually a part of a player’s bet depending on the situation. All or part of a blind may not be a bet in a round making it ‘dead’. The player to the left places a small blind and the big blind is posted by the one on his left. The player right at the left of the blinds gets the first turn in the next betting round. On all succeeding poker betting rounds, the first player to the left of the button initiates the action.
Some of the rules involving the use of blinds state that each player is required to grab the opportunity for the button and fulfill the total amount of the blind obligations. This can be done with two methods, namely: the moving button and the dead button. The moving button always moves forward to the next player. As a result the blinds respond accordingly. It is possible to have more than one big blind. In the dead button method, the big blind is placed by the player due for it, and the small blind and button are position appropriately.
