I think big blind gaming approach is typically used in small home games or private games among friends. In a casino, games are standardized and follow specific rules and procedures, and players do not place a big blind at the start of each hand. Instead, games in a casino usually require an ante or a small blind and a big blind, which are fixed amounts that rotate among players at the table.

You are correct that in a casino setting, games follow standardized rules and procedures that often involve antes, small blinds, and big blinds rather than a big blind gaming approach. The use of antes, small blinds, and big blinds helps to ensure that there is action and incentivizes players to participate in each hand.
In a typical poker game in a casino, the player seated to the left of the dealer button posts a small blind, and the player to their left posts the big blind. These forced bets create the initial pot and help to kick off the action for the hand. The positions of the blinds rotate around the table after each hand, ensuring that all players take their turns posting these bets.
While the big blind gaming approach may work well for casual games among friends, the structured nature of blinds and antes in a casino setting helps to maintain the flow of the game and ensures that there is a level of consistency and fairness for all players involved.

Players should consider the strategic implications of the big blind position. Big blind players' decisions during betting rounds are influenced by the fact that they have already committed chips to the pot. They can decide whether to raise, fold, or call.
