In the context of poker a player places/posts bets. Two particular types of bets are the blinds.
I've seen "place a bet" and "post the small/big blind" but are the verbs interchangeable?
I understand that "to post" can mean "to announce or publish" something and I believe "to place a bet" is the more common expression, but can you "post a bet" or "place the small/big blind"?

I don't have expert knowledge on this, but in my circles, generally one would say place a bet, not post. Post your blind(s) is a common phrase because it's a natural extension of English to describe how blinds are placed. But apart from blinds, one would not describe a bet as being posted. (Rather, 'Placed,' 'called,' 'raised,' etc...) ... Interesting question.

To clarify, the reason why I felt post is a possibly valid verb to use with bet is because it's used with blind, whether post is used as a poker term specifically or a more general gambling term. I understand it might not be appropriate to say post a bet but I'm looking for an explanation of why the two different verbs are applied to the two different types of bets.

After doing some more research I reached the conclusion that the verb post is mostly used with forced bets, like blinds or the ante.
I wasn't able to find a clear origin of the word, but I believe Ante-post betting is worth mentioning as a possible etymology:
In horse racing and greyhound racing, an ante-post bet is a bet placed before the horse/greyhound racing course's betting market has opened [...]
The ante in ante-post is derived from the Latin ante (meaning "before"), but the post is not the Latin post (meaning "after"). Instead, it is derived from the nineteenth century Betting Post, a stake that was traditionally fixed somewhere on the course ground like a sign-post to signal the beginning of fixed betting to bettors.
