This is because you always have to act first (other than preflop). The blinds in poker are not the spot to play loose and splash your chips around.Īnd the reason why is you should know that nobody actually wins from these positions! When you are playing from the blinds in poker your should be tight, only playing hands like good aces, broadways, pairs and a few suited connectors. Something that I get asked about quite a bit is how to play from the blinds.
