I don’t know about you, but I’m not the biggest fan of posting my blinds. Who is? You’re charged money to play a random hand in an awful position. And it’s a constant battle to defend yourself against a table full of bandits trying to steal it.
It’s not my idea of a good time. But what if I told you there’s a third blind that people choose to post?
You’d call me crazy, right? We’ll believe it or not, there is.
