1. If you are talking about cash games you can take High Stakes Poker as an example. In that game the blinds are $300/$600 with a $100 ante. At the Big Game in the Bellagio blinds are often $2,000/$4,000 but have been known to get higher still. The worlds best players along with the wealthy that can afford the $80,000 minimum buy in play a variety of different poker games.
2. Here's the best answer to make you think. The higher the blinds, the more risky. But also the wealthier gamblers who might be less skilled. Each "level" has its pros/cons. For example, if Phil Ivey or Negreanu played stakes of $1 million/ $2 million against a complete noob, there is still a small chance that Ivey or Negreanu would go bankrupt. "Odds" are the they will gain a lot of expected value. I'm a finance major, and advise you to google "risk return tradeoff" Low tables are a "safe buck" but high tables are "a potential dreamload"
3. Blinds cause action. If the blinds are low, there is no reason to ever gamble. Just wait for a good hand. By playing at higher blinds, these pro players are forcing those less skilled to gamble in a game where they would normally set back and wait for the nuts. This helps the pros because now, the noob is forced to play lessere hands against their higher skill level, which means the pros always win if theblinds are high enough. They sometimes add a straddle to make it even more actrion when it suits their style of play.
4. They play weekly at the Bellagio in BOBBY'S ROOM "the big game" with also players like P.IVEY, T.BRUNSON, D.BRUNSON, C.REESE, G.HANSEN, D.BENYAMINE, P.ANTONIUS, E.ELEZRA, M.LY,C. GIANG, B. GREENSTEIN, D.LEVI.....And more. They play a mixed game, cash games. They play limits or PL games. The blinds are 2K/4K, but often 4K/8K (for example when S.FARHA come to Vegas, he wants to play the 4K/8K)
