Step 9 - How are table limits defined?
When it comes to wagers, every poker table has a certain, defined limit. This limit determines the forced blind amounts. In a $1/$2 game the blinds would be $0.50 for the small blind (seat 1) and $1 for the big blind (seat 2). Please note that the blinds are different. Usually the small blind is half the value of the big blind. For example, in a $3/$6 game the big blind is $3 and the small blind $1.50. It's very important to choose the right level of play. Think like this – if you have $100 you don't want to play at $10/$20 level since you would risk having to force bet your entire stack of chips before getting any good cards.
