There are what are called blind, these are forced bets.<\/p>\n<p>If you have played any variation of stud Poker you have placed a bet called an \u201cante\u201d, this is a small bet that all players must make so that they can get into the game.<\/p>\n<p>For you to be dealt a hand, you have to have placed an ante bet in other Poker variations. However with Omaha, you have to place bets called \u201cblinds\u201d instead of \u201cante\u201d bets.<\/p>\n<p>A blind is placed only when it is your turn. The blinds rotates around the table. There are normally\u00a0 two types blinds, these are the small blinds and the big blinds.<\/p>\n<p>The betting limits of the game usually determine blind amounts.
