The term blind is also used to describe actions taken during play before seeing cards that one would normally be entitled to see before acting. For example, the first player to act after the draw in a Draw poker game may "check blind" before looking at his replacement cards. One can also bet blind, call blind, and so on. It is common to announce that one is doing this, to influence your opponents' actions: I bet $5 in the dark, or I'll check while I look. See also [/Blind stud]?. |
