Hello,

For about two months now, I’ve been holding a weekly NL Tournament for about 8-9 people. Typically, we play with antes that go up bit by bit as the tournament goes on but we never seen the benefits or positive results of having blinds.

I’m wondering if there is any reason or the like that playing with blinds improves or alters the game in particular.

Thanks! By the way, great site!

Gelo,

Blinds force action from players. Raising blinds forces player to commit to playing instead of sitting around waiting for big hands like many players do in cash games. As the tournament gets later, the higher blinds forces shrinking stacks into action to stay alive and helps the tournament move along.
