Cash Game Using Antes in NL/PL Cash Games (1 Viewer)

[Phantom]

Hi,

I have seen that many use a dealer ante to speed things up or in case players forget to post it. If one was ok with reminding each player to post an ante, and if one were playing 25c/50c NLHE and PLO, how much would the ante be? 5c or 10c?

Does anyone here use any such ante playing NLHE and/or PLO?

Cheers,

Adam

If you want to use antes. Make it .25 and get rid in the blinds?

Instead of each player putting out any ante have the dealer do it.

Thanks bloke . I kinda like the idea of another denom (more chips and colours), and juicing up the pot a bit. More pot to rake in when you win. Also would use it for 7-stud.

So, 25c/50c blinds and every player ante 10c, rather than dealer ante 60c or 70c. However, I can see the dealer ante being better from the point of view of not making change every second hand as everyone runs out of antes in the first hour .

Ok, in addition to my initial individual ante questions, does anyone use blinds and dealer ante in NL/PLO?

I don't. If you want to juice up the game. Add a half kill and kill button

Live at the Bike has been running a $5/5 game with a $5 ante. It is pretty interesting for sure!! It plays bigger than $5/10.

With such a big ante players must play a much wider range of hands or the ante will destroy their stack in no time.

So everybody ante's $5? Or just the button ante's $5?

Everyone! At a full table there is $60 in the pot before betting even starts
