Button Blind Only? Anyone Do This? (1 Viewer)

With all the talk about the insignificance of the small blind, are there any games out there that have only the button post a blind?

The button is really in great position pre flop and in optimal position post flop.

Anyone?

That’s a Guam thing

Yah idk who started it but all the locals home games were like that
The rake was always asinine

A single button blind seems very strange to me. You have the power of last action on all streets, but now also have it as the only blind.

I don't know, honestly. Maybe others can chime in, but I see cases where hands get folded around to the one blind. I was always under the impression that the blind bets were there to force action.

How it played there it’s essentially the same as 2/3 but in one blind
It didn’t seem to change much because there were lots of $10 straddles in the SB

Just changes who posts when

We do it in a underground game, no blinds, straddle the button 5 to 15. I don't like it because the game, if there are blinds has a Mississippi straddle. so it takes the option of that away.

I think Button Single blind only work if it pair with Ante by everyone.

If not, everyone will only be playing premium hand since they are out of position and only 1 single blind

lol you should see the action in the game I play in with the button straddle, we took out 1/2 blinds because they get in the way, if there isn't a real raise its 40 to go every flop, we've had 7 way action for stacks pre-flop 500-1350, one such time I had suited AA's another dude had AA77, flopped it =/ quad 7s (omaha)

Why not have a single small blind? Like instead of $.50/1 just have a single $2 blind.
