The partypoker German Poker Championships are using the “Button Ante” system, so instead of every player having to ante each hand the button pays.
It seems to be working perfectly well so far after some initial furrowed brows amongst the players, and the dealer’s heart pressure is more stable.
On one table a player had busted and there was a dead button on the next hand. The small and big blinds put their blinds in and as the dealer shuffled one player asked, “Who is the ante?”
“No one” replied the dealer and the hand progressed with no antes in the middle.
