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.

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
