Am I retarded? Did the rules to texas hold em change? or is Absolute poker still the worst poker site to date??
Check below
BLINDS
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.
Examples: In a $1/$2 game the small blind is $0.50 and the large blind is $1. In a $5/$10 game the small blind is $2 and the large blind is $5.
Both the small and the big blinds are considered "Live" bets. The players in these positions 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.
When players first sit down to play, they will be required to post the equivalent of the big blind only once, or they have the option to "sit out" until it is their natural turn to post the big blind. This rule is in place to ensure game fairness to all players. The rule prevents the possibility of players entering games in late position and then leaving before they are required a post the big blind. |

| In no limit you are right. In fixed limit the "1" would be the bet size pre-flop and on the flop, and the "2" would be the bet size on the turn and river. |
