Key decision
Blind vs Seen
A blind player has not looked at their cards. A seen player has looked. This changes how much information the player has and often changes the stake needed to continue.
Blind
Lower information, often lower stake. Useful for pressure, risky if the pot grows.
Seen
More information, often higher stake. Better for judging hand strength and show decisions.
