At the beginning of a new Texas Holdem Poker Game, each player is dealt two face-down cards. After each hand is completed, the Dealer, which is a button, moves clockwise to the next active player and this player will be considered the dealer, and will act on his/her hand last on each betting round. This is also termed playing the button for that Texas Holdem Poker Game. The player to the left of the button is first to receive a card and is required to post a Small Blind. The Small Blind is equal to half the lower limit bet rounded down to the nearest dollar. The player to the left of the Small Blind is required to post the Big Blind. The Big Blind is equal to the lower limit bet. These bets are referred to as blinds because players must post them before the dealer deals any cards to the players.

Both the Small and the Big Blinds are considered live bets. They have the option of calling, raising or folding when the betting action comes back around to their position. After the flop and after each subsequent betting round, the first active player left of the button is first to act.
