Anteing Sucks! What's the Solution?
Anteing slows down the game, while still necessary to keep the game itself moving. For years, anteing was seen as a necessary evil. It was just the way things were. That was until some bright minds started to think about it and came up with an alternative. In Aria's big buy-in live events, the big blind pays the ante for everyone at the table. In partypoker live events, the button now pays the ante for all the players at the table. This way, just a single player has to be paying attention, instead of a full table worth of players.
We asked around in the €50,000 Super High Roller and the €1,100 PokerStars National Championship to see what some of the players think about this issue. Read all about it, and share your thoughts, on the PokerNews homepage.
