Why Blinds Matter
You’d think they were no big deal, but let me illustrate something to you about poker blinds. We’re going to do some maths in just a second. Ok so the measure of winning in a ring jeux de casino is measured in big blinds per hour (bb/hr). Now let’s say you don’t care about blinds at all, and you decide to play for say 8 hours a day like a full time job. The blinds are .25 and .50 respectively. You never win a hand and lose every blind you play and you’re playing 100 hands per hour. So let’s show you why blinds are important. Oh, you also playing at a 6 max table. 100 hands per hour, you’re in the blinds 33% of the time. So in 33 hands you’re putting up .75 x 33 (33% is 33 hands per hour). That’s 24.75 dollars you’re losing per hour. Now let’s multiply that by 8. That’s 198 dollars you’ve lost in your session considering you fold every hand. This adds up, to a lot. And if you can’t see no why poker blinds are important, then take this website, close it, and hang up your poker software for good. What I’m talkinga bout is just in a ring game. Think about the importance of winning blinds as they progressively rise in a tournament structure. Then you see how much more important they are.
