The total amount raised by the blinds in Texas Holdem is an important factor to consider when determining your betting size with your pocket cards. This article provides a quick and easy way to calculate your possible gains or losses from the blinds in a $100 NL 5 Straight Draw game. Use the strategy below to determine your raise size with respect to the size of the big blind.

It’s easy to calculate the approximations for the amount raised by the blinds. First, you take your stack size and multiply it by two. Second, you multiply the amount raised by the big blind by two to give you the flush weight.

Here are some examples:

1. You have 5$ in the big blind and the $100 blind is $50. A $50 stack is 3.5x the big blind, or 15% of your stack. You have $20 in the small blind, which is also 3.5x your stack, or 15%.
2. You have $300 in the small blind and the $200 blind is $50. You have $95 in the big blind. Thus, the total stack is $ox $054, and the total in the blinds is $xx $xx. This means that the total available for a raise is $xx $xx + $xx $xx.
3. In a $100 NL game, the blinds are $5/$10 and the stacks are 6$ and 4$ , respectively. The blinds are approximately 14 times the size of the stack in percentage terms. Thus, if the stack in the big blind is $100, then the blinds are approximately 14×10 $5-$100 $10, or $220 in total.
4. The blinds increase every time the dealer button rotates. Until the blinds reach about 15-20% of the stacks in the big blind, they are usually too tight. With a short stack in the big blind, a double-up raise of 2x the normal size will often get everyone to fold, especially since the blinds are usually too close to the size of the pot. With a big stack in the big blind, the tables tight up and players will be more likely to shove.
5. The blinds bump stats off the table in increments of $1, rather than all at once. For example, the blinds might increase by $1 every 4 or 5 spins. This means that if the blinds were 15% of the stacks in the big blind, then every 4 or 5 spins, the blinds might increase to $15, $30, $60, $90, and $150, respectively.

In conclusion, small blinds in online Texas holdem are probably not that important unless you have a purpose for them. That purpose could be to provide extra information for your opponents, such as “Hey, I have a small pair, what’s good about being short stack here?” It’s very unlikely that many people have trouble calling your small raises when you’re short stacked. Anyway, the amount of blinds that are high enough to seriously affect your ability to play ends up being pretty small.

Think about the number of times that you raised in a hand pre-flop, on the flop, on the turn, and eventually got called by a hand with better than average strength. Did you lose a lot of money? Yes, of course you did. But, if you consider the time it took you to get to a pot, and the time it took your opponents to call your raise, you’ll see that it was all worth it when you did get called. The high blind levels prevent you from getting soft-made calls, and winning hands by betting less.

If you are not yet making money playing situs toto, it is entirely possible that you will get into a situation where the only way to get chips is to raise for them. someday you will have to face a situation where the best course of action is to get aggressive, bet your money away, and wait for another opportunity to collect chips in a better situation. You have to be able to make a move like that with regularity, and have to be able to consider that as part of the price you pay for being such a successful player.

I really hope that you are able to understand now why the top poker pros don’t just call the big all-ins that fund their blogs. Instead, poker blogs should be seen as one of a series of steps towards becoming a truly successful player. You are not going to win a big poker tournament with 20 buy-ins, and you are rarely going to win a no limit cash game with hundreds of thousands of dollars in it.
