The Betting Process (Part 2)
In the last post we ended with how much you are supposed to bet. So again, these are the 2 scenarios:
• If you are a blind player, you must put in at least the current stake and not more than twice the current stake. The current stake for the next player is then the amount that you put in.
• If you are a seen player you must bet at least twice the current stake and not more than four times the current stake. The current stake for the next player becomes half the amount that you bet.
Now just because you chose to be a blind player in the beginning does not mean that you cannot change your mind. When your turn to bet comes around, you can actually decide to be a seen player. From that point on, you have to play seen, though.
So the betting process just continues in the same manner. This goes on until one of two things happen:
• All players have folded and there is only one player remaining. In this case, he is obviously the winner. He then wins all the money in the pot, without regard to the cards he is holding.
• All players have folded except for two. If one of these remaining players pay for a show, both of them should then expose their cards. The cards are then compared to determine the winner.
Let’s look into the show in the next post with more detail.
