Hi,

I am now in trouble because I’ll be hosting a holdem tournament soon. I am confused, I don’t know how much bet should one place after the flop. For an instance, if the blinds are 25/50 and everyone calls the big blind then the flop happens, after which, is there a minimum bet a person has to begin with?

Any thoughts about it?

Thanks in advance.

Earnest John,

The minimum bet on the flop is the size of the big blind in a No Limit Holdem tournament. In the example you gave above, the smallest the player can bet is 50.

I’ve just started playing no limit holdem and I don’t totally understand things about meeting the blind or big blind.

In case the first person betting after the flop cannot meet the blind and goes all in, what should the other players do? Do they have to meet the big blind or just meet the bet of the first person? By the way, before the flop, all players at the table have met the blind.

Thank you in advance.

Austin,

In the above scenario, since this is No Limit Holdem, the players have the option to either just call the all-in bet or raise. They do not have to meet the big blind amount. They can raise as normal.
