Poker Blinds

As the blinds are a forced bet you need to learn how to play when you have posted, otherwise you will find a proportion of your bankroll is wasted. I follow some simple rules and they have always stood me in good stead. The most common way to lose when you have posted the big blind is to call an opponent's raise with a bad set of cards, because you have already contributed to the pot and you don't want to lose those chips. In most cases however you will end up losing a lot more than just the big blind. You should remember that having called, you are now in the worst position for the rest of the hand. It means you will always be the first to act so if you are in any doubt as to whether you should call the bet or not you should fold your cards and wait for a better opportunity. Being in the early position is a big disadvantage in Texas Hold'em. Calling after a raise when you have posted the big blind can also mean that you are obtaining great value for your call. If some of your opponents have already called it will only cost you a relatively small amount to stay in the hand and it is likely you will be getting better odds for your money. The extra money you put in is smaller than what everyone else has had to do to call. Don't forget that once you have contributed to a pot those chips are not yours anymore so you should only be concerned with the chips you have left in your stack. Try not to fall into the trap of always staying in the hand if you have posted the blind. You will only be getting better odds if the raise was small,most often twice the blind. If it is more and you don't have a premium hand then you should be folding. Also, if you do stay in and you don't make your hand on the flop, you should not be putting in anymore chips. Finally, be sure not to get trapped once the flop is dealt. If you catch something half decent,such as a high pair,it is likely that someone will be able to beat you with a similar hand and a higher kicker. And if your hand wasn't good enough to raise in the first place then unless you are getting at least three of a kind be very wary if anyone bets at you again after the flop.
