Limits – Texas Holdem Poker Basics at HoldemPoker.com

All poker tables have a certain limit. This limit determines the forced blind amounts. In a $1/$2 game the blinds would be $0.50 dollar for the small blind (seat 1) and $1 for the big blind (seat 2). Notice that the blinds are different.

Usually the small blind is the half the value of the big blind. In a $3/$6 game the big blind would be $3 and the small $1.5. It’s important to choose the right level of play. If you have say $100 you don’t want to play at a $10/$20 since you would risk having to force bet your entire stack before even getting any good cards.
