The small blind (typically half the big blind) sits immediately left of the dealer button, and the big blind sits left of the small blind. Blinds rotate clockwise each hand, ensuring every player pays equally over time. In tournaments, blinds increase on a schedule to force action; in cash games, they remain fixed. Blinds create the fundamental tension in poker—there's always something to fight for.","# Blinds\n\n**Blinds** are the heartbeat of poker—mandatory bets that create action and ensure every pot has value. Without blinds, players could fold indefinitely, waiting for perfect hands. The small blind and big blind rotate around the table, forcing everyone to contribute equally over time. This simple mechanism creates poker's fundamental dynamic: you must win enough pots to offset the blinds you pay, and the blinds you've already posted give you pot odds to defend with marginal hands. Understanding blind play is crucial because these positions lose money for everyone—your goal is to lose less than opponents.\n\n## Table of Contents\n\n- [How Blinds Work](#how-it-works)\n- [Blind

of button |\n| Big Blind (BB) | 1 BB | Left of small blind |\n\n### Blind Rotation\n\n```\nHand 1: Player A = Button, Player B = SB, Player C = BB\nHand 2: Player B = Button, Player C = SB, Player D = BB\nHand 3: Player C = Button, Player D = SB, Player E = BB\n```\n\nEvery hand, the button (and blinds) move one position clockwise.\n\n### Preflop Action\n\n| Position | Action Order | Notes |\n|----------|--------------|-------|\n| UTG | First to act | After blinds posted |\n| ... | Middle positions | Continues clockwise |\n| Button | Last preflop (before blinds) | Best preflop position |\n| Small Blind | Second-to-last preflop | Already invested ½ BB |\n| Big Blind | Last preflop | Already invested 1 BB |\n\n**Key point:** Big blind acts last preflop but first post-flop.\n\n### Post-Flop Action\n\n| Position | Action Order |\n|----------|--------------|\n| Small Blind | **First** |\n| Big Blind | **Second** |\n| UTG | Third |\n| ... | Continues clockwise |\n| Button | **Last** |\n\nBlinds go from best preflop position (BB acts last) to worst post-flop position (SB acts first).\n\n## Blind Positions {#positions}\n\n### Small Blind (SB)\n\n| Aspect | Detail |\n|--------|--------|\n| Investment | 0.5 BB forced |\n| Preflop order | Second-to-last |\n| Post-flop order | **First** (worst) |\n| Expected win rate | -30 to -45 bb\u002F100 |\n\n**Why SB is terrible:**\n- Forced to invest before seeing cards\n- Acts first every post-flop street\n- Caught between button (best position) and BB\n\n### Big Blind (BB)\n\n| Aspect | Detail |\n|--------|--------|\n| Investment | 1 BB forced |\n| Preflop order | Last (best) |\n| Post-flop order | Second (still bad) |\n| Expected win rate | -15 to -30 bb\u002F100 |\n\n**Why BB is slightly better:**\n- Gets to close preflop action\n- Has 1 BB invested (better pot odds to defend)\n- Option to check if no raise\n\n### Comparing Blind Positions\n\n| Factor | Small Blind | Big Blind |\n|--------|-------------|-----------|\n| Investment | 0.5 BB | 1.0 BB |\n| Preflop order | 2nd-last | Last |\n| Post-flop order | First | Second |\n| Win rate | -35 bb\u002F100 | -25 bb\u002F100

Desperation mode |\n\n### Antes in Tournaments\n\n| Component | Typical Size |\n|-----------|--------------|\n| Antes | 10-25% of BB |\n| Big Blind Ante | 1 BB (posted by BB) |\n\n**With antes, pot starts larger:**\n```\n9-handed with ante (10% BB):\nPot = 0.5 + 1.0 + (9 × 0.1) = 2.4 BB\n```\n\nThis incentivizes more stealing.\n\n## Playing from the Blinds {#playing}\n\n### Small Blind Strategy\n\n| Situation | Optimal Strategy |\n|-----------|------------------|\n| Folded to you | Raise or fold (rarely limp) |\n| Raiser, no callers | 3-bet or fold (rarely call) |\n| Multi-way pot | Tighter range, fold marginal |\n| Against BB only | Can limp\u002Fraise depending on BB |\n\n**SB 3-Bet or Fold Philosophy:**\nCalling from SB means playing OOP vs raiser AND BB—terrible position. Either 3-bet for value\u002Ffold equity or just fold.\n\n### Big Blind Defense\n\n```math\n\\text{Pot Odds to Call} = \\frac{\\text{Call Amount}}{\\text{Pot After Call}}\n```\n\n**Against 2.5x button raise:**\n- Pot = 0.5 (SB) + 2.5 (BTN) = 3 BB\n- You call 1.5 more (already invested 1 BB)\n- Pot after call = 3 + 1.5 = 4.5 BB\n- Pot odds = 1.5 \u002F 4.5 = 33%\n\nYou can defend with any hand that has 33%+ equity vs button's range (very wide!).\n\n### BB Defense Ranges\n\n| Raiser Position | Defend % | Range |\n|-----------------|----------|-------|\n| UTG | 15-25% | Strong hands only |\n| MP | 25-35% | Decent hands |\n| CO | 40-50% | Wide |\n| Button | 55-70% | Very wide |\n| SB | 65-80% | Widest |\n\n### Blind vs. Blind (BvB)\n\n| Scenario | SB Strategy | BB Strategy |\n|----------|-------------|-------------|\n| SB opens | Raise 2-2.5x | 3-bet or call wide |\n| SB limps | Complete\u002Fraise | Raise for isolation |\n| SB shoves (short) | Wide range | Call based on odds |\n\nBvB battles are about exploiting the other blind—both have dead money invested.\n\n## Defending vs. Stealing {#defend-steal}\n\n### Defending the Blinds\n\n**When to defend:**\n- Getting good pot odds\n- Playable hand\n- Position vs. stealing opponent\n- Stack depth allows post-flop play\n\n**When to fold:**\n- Trash hand\n- Opponent opens tight\n- Multi-way pot developing\n- Short-stacked (can't play post-flop)\n\n### Stealing the Blinds\n\n```math\n\\text{Break-Even Steal} = \\frac{\\text{Raise}}{(\\text{Blinds} + \\text{Antes} + \\text{Raise})}\n```\n\n**Example:** Raise to 2.5 BB in unopened pot (1.5 BB in blinds)\n```math\n\\text{Break-even} = \\frac{2.5}{1.5 + 2.5} = 62.5\\%\n```\n\nIf blinds fold 62.5%+ of the time, any two cards profit.\n\n### Steal Frequency by Position\n\n| Position | Steal Frequency | Why |\n|----------|-----------------|-----|\n| UTG | 12-15% | Not a steal |\n| MP | 16-20% | Not a steal |\n| Hijack | 22-28% | Semi-steal |\n| Cutoff | 30-40% | Steal position |\n| Button | 45-60% | Prime steal position |\n| SB | 40-55% | Steal vs. one player |\n\n### Re-Stealing (3-Bet Bluff)\n\nWhen facing a steal, 3-bet to take the pot:\n\n| Situation | 3-Bet Frequency |\n|-----------|-----------------|\n| BB vs BTN steal | 12-18% (polarized) |\n| SB vs BTN steal | 10-15% (wider value) |\n| BB vs CO steal | 10-14% |\n\n## Blind Economics {#economics}\n\n### Cost of Blinds Per Orbit\n\n```math\n\\text{Blinds Per Orbit} = \\text{SB} + \\text{BB} = 1.5 \\text{ BB}\n```\n\n**Per hour (30 hands\u002Fhour, 9-handed):**\n```\nOrbits\u002Fhour = 30\u002F9 ≈ 3.3\nBlind cost = 3.3 × 1.5 = 5 BB\u002Fhour\n```\n\nYou must win 5+ BB\u002Fhour from other positions just to break even on blinds.\n\n### Tournament Blind Pressure\n\n| Average Stack | Blind Level | M-Ratio | Urgency |\n|---------------|-------------|---------|---------|\n| 10,000 | 25\u002F50 | 133 | None |\n| 10,000 | 100\u002F200 | 33 | Low |\n| 10,000 | 300\u002F600 | 11 | Medium |\n| 10,000 | 500\u002F1000 | 6.7 | High |\n| 10,000 | 1000\u002F2000 | 3.3 | Critical |\n\n### Blind Structure Quality\n\n| Indicator | Good Structure | Bad Structure |\n|-----------|----------------|---------------|\n| Starting M | 100+ | 50 or less |\n| Level increases | 20-25% jumps | 50%+ jumps |\n| Level time | 30+ minutes | 10-15 minutes |\n| Skill factor | High | Low |\n\n### Expected Win Rates by Position\n\n| Position | Win Rate (bb\u002F100) |\n|----------|------------------|\n| Button | +25 to +35 |\n| Cutoff | +12 to +20 |\n| Big Blind | -15 to -30 |\n| Small Blind | -30 to -45 |\n\n**Total from blinds:** -45 to -75 bb\u002F100 combined\n**Must recover from other positions!**\n\n## Special Blind Situations {#special}\n\n### Straddle\n\n| Aspect | Description |\n|--------|-------------|\n| Definition | Voluntary 3rd blind (usually 2x BB) |\n| Position | Typically UTG |\n| Effect | Increases stakes, straddler acts last preflop |\n| Common in | Live cash games |\n\n### Dead Blinds\n\n| Situation | Rule |\n|-----------|------|\n| Missed blinds | Post both blinds + dead SB |\n| New player | Post BB or wait for BB |\n| Returning player | Post missed blinds |\n\n### Heads-Up Blinds\n\n| Rule | Description |\n|------|-------------|\n| Button = SB | Button posts small blind |\n| Non-button = BB | Other player posts big blind |\n| Preflop | Button acts first |\n| Post-flop | Button acts last |\n\n## Related Calculators\n\n- [Pot Odds Calculator](\u002Fpoker\u002Fpot-odds) - Blind defense math\n- [ICM Calculator](\u002Fpoker\u002Ficm-trainer) - Tournament blind pressure",null,[29,32,35,38],{"answer":30,"question":31},"The small blind (SB) is typically half the big blind, posted by the player immediately left of the dealer button.
