What is a big blind and a small blind in poker and explain what they are and do?
The blinds are forced bets in Texas Hold'em and Omaha. The reason for blinds is that both of these games do not have an ante and the players could fold their hands without an investment in the game. The big blind is equal to the minimum bet and the small blind is half the big blind. The small blind is directly left of the dealer button and the big blind is directly left of the small blind. Once the initial hand has been dealt the player left of the big blind then has the opportunity to call, raise, or fold. Basically, the whole concept of blinds is to entice players to stay in the game and add to the pot.
Can you play Texas holdem with antes and NO blinds Here is why i ask. We have been playing a dealers choice home game and only two players have be?
You can choose any type of blind structure you wish, as long as all the players agree with it.However, usually it is something in the lines of:stack: 100 big blinds (ie. 1500 chips)big blind: 1/50 or 1/75 of starting stack (30 or 20)small blind: half the big blind (15 or 10)ante: (small blind + big blind) / 10 (4.5 or 3)usually the blinds go up every 10 or 15 minutes, sometimes longer in bigger live tourneys.blinds and antes usually go up equally.Reason for blinds:If there are no blinds in the pot, noone is losing anything. This creates a lot less action.With the blinds introduced, new concepts are created, like for instance grinding.The difference between small blind and big blind, and the ante is to make things more dynamical, and to persuade players to play more pots.In many tourneys, ante's are introduced later in the tourney. This usually loosens up the players.

Explain the fundamentals of the blinds in Texas hold em?
In many card games there is an ante. To play, you have to put in some money. In Texas Hold 'Em, instead of antes you have blinds... big blind and small blind. Two players contribute money to the pot without the beniefit of seeing their cards and deciding whether to bet on them... thus they are throwing money in "blind"ly. :) Players take turns putting in this money, one the big blind amount, and one the small blind amount (half as much). Other players can choose to play by matching the big blind, or fold and pay nothing. The small blind has to pay the difference between what they paid, and what the big blind paid to play (this of course if there are no initial raises). Blinds are pre-determined in many tournaments, and they go up after a certain number of rounds, so for instance if the blinds started out at $200 and $400, then they might go up to $300 and $600, and so on until someone wins the entire tournament
