Rules for playing the dark

In the dark variations of poker, players are required to bring the pot a little dark and a big blind. In limit poker betting the big blind is equal to the minimum bet allowed, while the small blind is half the big blind. In the case of poker no limit or pot limit, the amount of small and big blind is set by regulation of the gambling house, site or the online poker tournament.
