Small Blind - The smaller of two or more forced bets put up in a flop game prior to the deal.
Most flop and draw games use blinds instead of
antes to seed the pot. Blinds are
forced bets that are usually posted to
the left of, or in some cases directly on, the
dealer button before the start of the deal.
Games are often formatted with two or more blinds of different amounts, and are identified by their relative sizes as “big” blinds
and “small” blinds. The small blind is
generally posted to the right of the big blind,
between the big blind and the button. Small blinds are also occasionally posted on the dealer button if you are playing in a game
with three blinds, or if the natural movement of the blinds and button have been interrupted.
