My current game I'm playing in they do a dealer calls it and the dealer posts a $2 ante no matter the game. No blinds but the dealers ante and we play mostly Texas Hold'em, Omaha Hi/Low, and Stud.
I'm thinking about trying to start another game with a difrent format. It will be a set rotation of games that we will play so many hands then swich games. I would like to do real antes but I'm not sure if I can without adding a 5cent chip.
What should the stakes be for a 25cent ante stud game, what should the forced bring in should be?
Thanks in advance |
In my home stud games, everybody antes. If you have 8 players and everybody deals equally, a $2 dealer ante is the exact same thing as a $.25 everybody ante.
In this year's WSOP 50K HORSE, the bring-in and the ante were generally the same amount (or really close). Completion was 3x to 4x the bring-in, mostly 4x, so in a .25 ante / .25 bring-in, I'd play with $1/$2 limits, which are nice round numbers.
If those limits are too high, you could use the same ante and bring-in structure, but lower the limits to $.50/$1 without much difficulty.
