Raise Issue in a No Limit Holdem Game

Hi,

I am new to no limit holdem and I’m now thinking of something. For an instance, after everyone has been dealt 2 cards down, and the individual to the left of the big blind raises, do you think both the big and small blinds if they want to see the flop should add an amount to the pot?

Or else, do they get to see the flop because of placing a bet which is somehow forced?

Thanks,
Johnny

Johnny,

The blind in a holdem game are forced bet. When a player raises, they are raising the blind. The blinds must then call the difference between the blind and the raise amount to see the flop.
