Poker Jargon
The player with the dealer button is considered as the ‘button’.
Two players on the left side of the button are considered the ‘big blind’ and ‘small blind’. These players are required to put a blind bet before any card is dealt. The big blinds have 2x stakes compared to the small blind.
The player next to the big blind is called ‘under-the-gun’, they are the first ones to decide whether to fold, call or raise the bet placed by the big blind. Now, all players must place the same bets as the big blind in the pot after the decision of the under-the-gun player.
