I agree that the antes should win out, because ante means that you’re putting it out before the dealer deals the cards.Louisville35https://www.blogger.com/profile/13545824090557422469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-25674688136349918642018-10-30T18:18:57.944-07:002018-10-30T18:18:57.944-07:00This is actually hotly debated among TD's and ...This is actually hotly debated among TD's and poker players. The actual answer is: It depends.<br /><br />Some rooms say the ante is posted first, as it is with a normal ante. So you'd be short the BB and only be able to win your own ante back if you won the hand.<br /><br />Other rooms say the bb is posted first, and if there's none left over for the ante, there's no ante that hand. That way the player could win the enitre bb from each player.<br /><br />It's still a work in process in this area, but I believe posting the ante first will win out eventually.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-32670124825358226212018-10-30T18:03:02.056-07:002018-10-30T18:03:02.056-07:00What happens if I have 1000 chips left and blinds ...What happens if I have 1000 chips left and blinds are 500/1000 with 1000 bb is responsible for antes.
