Hello,

For an instance you are playing a 10/20 game. How much do you think a person in the small should pay? 5? Is it half of the smaller number or what?

How about the big blind, should he pay 10? Just equal to whatever the small or first number is? Then say the cards are dealt. Should the first person who is said to be “under the gun” call for at least 10 or else 20?

About the 2nd number what does it stands for? Any idea?

Thank you.

Mitchell

Mitchell,

What your are explaining is a Limit Holdem game with betting levels of 10 and 20. Preflop and on the flop, betting limits are $10, and betting on the turn and river is $20. In this game, the small blind is half of the small bet amount. In this case, the small blind is $5. The big blind is $10. The under the gun player must either call $10, raise to $20, or fold.
