Clueless About How Blinds Work
Sep/080
Hi,
I don’t know how blinds actually work in a head to head game. Can you explain it to me please?
How about the non-dealer, will it be just the small blind? Then the dealer the big blind?
Thank you!

Ross,
Heads up poker is a little different than normal poker games. The button is actually the small blind. Heads-up, the button is the first to act preflop. The rest of the hand, the button is last to act.
In Heads Up Play

Hello there!
I’m wondering, in heads up play, does the big blind shift to the person without the button? In online events, I noticed that when it comes down to heads up, the dealer suddenly doesn’t post the big blind, but just the little or small blind instead.
I’m troubled and clueless.

Theodore,
In heads-up poker, the button posts the small blind. Preflop, the button is the first to act. The button is then last to act on all streets.
