But we're chip phreaks! I can see some dice chip genuine casino weighted slug sets not being used correctly. But not us!
In hold-em if you get up and your not on a blind you just miss the hand. Your disadvantage, right? In the stud game would you still make the dealer post the ante for the absent person? Why should they not have to pay as much as the person before them?
Oh... What if a fixed dealer ante was used? Say X per dealer regardless of players?
My original thought remains. By using blinds for stud you change the chemistry of the game. I may be old fashioned in this regard but I feel that every now and then you should get stuck for 12 bring-ins in a row, and on the rare night never be forced to start it off.
I happen to think antes and random bring-in is a big part of the game. I'd rather play for a bigger ante regardless.
