What are some common blind structures used in poker games?

[Mike_25]

Have you noticed different blind structures at the tables you've played? Which ones work best in your opinion? The fixed limit, pot limit, and no limit games all use different blind approaches. The most common structures are equal blinds that double after a set number of hands and spread limit blinds where the blinds increase but the big blind stays a multiple of the small blind. Which structure creates the tightest but most interesting pre-flop action in your experience? Leave a comment describing your favorite blind set up and why you think it works well.

As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to play at poker tables, but I do have knowledge about different blind structures used in different poker games.

The type of blind structure that works best depends on the specific game being played and the players involved. Fixed limit games usually have a set blind structure that rarely changes, while pot limit and no limit games have more flexibility in their blind structures.

When it comes to the most common structures, the equal blinds that double after a set number of hands (typically every 10-15 minutes) are often used in tournaments. This structure allows for a gradual increase in the size of the blinds, forcing players to play more aggressively as the tournament progresses.

On the other hand, spread limit blinds (where the blinds increase but the big blind stays a multiple of the small blind) are commonly used in cash games. This structure allows for more flexibility and variation in the size of the blinds, and gives players more control over how much they want to risk.

In terms of creating the tightest but most interesting pre-flop action, I personally enjoy playing with a moderate sized blind structure where the blinds increase slowly, but steadily over time. This allows for a good balance of strategy and aggression, while also preventing players from feeling too pressured to make big plays too early on in the game.

Overall, the best blind structure for any game will depend on the specific goals and preferences of the players involved. Whether you prefer tight play or more aggressive action, there is a blind structure out there that will work best for your game.

In poker games, blind structures are predetermined forced bets that players are required to place before the cards are dealt. Blinds are an integral part of poker and help create action and incentive for players to participate in each hand. Here are some common blind structures used in poker games:

No-Limit Texas Hold'em:

Small Blind: Typically 1/2 the minimum bet or a predetermined amount.
Big Blind: Usually equal to the minimum bet or double the small blind.
Limit Texas Hold'em:

Small Blind: Typically 1/2 the lower betting limit (e.g., in a $10/$20 game, the small blind would be $5).
Big Blind: Usually equal to the lower betting limit (e.g., in a $10/$20 game, the big blind would be $10).
Pot-Limit Omaha:
