As mentioned above, the rules for many forms of poker don’t change when playing heads-up. If you’re new to poker 😆 check out our how to play poker section for an introduction to the game and links to how-to-play guides for 😆 Texas Holdem, Omaha and other types of poker.

In poker games other than heads-up the small blind is posted by the 😆 player positioned clockwise from the dealer (or nominal dealer in online poker). The big blind is posted by the player 😆 to the left of the small blind.

Why is the position of the blinds reversed in heads-up poker? Basically to ensure 😆 fairness.
