Sitting Out
My local card room occasionally has a big holdem ante game. However I do not have much experience with ante games and how it affects opening sizes.
I usually play and open in the 3-5x sizing range depending on player pool and the game. However if their are antes at a full 9 handed table, what should the normal range for opening sizes be?
For example, the game I have seen is 5/5 holdem with a $5 ante. (sb puts $5, bb puts $5, and everyone puts $5 to ante), leading to $55 dead money in the pot before UTG acts.
what opening sizing is good, or a range of sizing? Any change to 3b sizing?
