Confusion on Level 1 Antes
![[user75032]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
The structure for this event calls for a button ante for the stud games in Level 1, due to the fact that the limits are so small. However, it was first announced that the blinds should continue posting in the Stud games (which was clearly wrong). Eventually it was sorted out that the button should ante 25. This is better but also seems to be wrong. Most likely the button was intended to ante 75 chips, but now that the decision has been made to ante 25 they're sticking with it.
Overall the decision won't have much impact on the tournament because once Level 2 starts, every player will ante during the stud rounds. But Daniel Negreanu recently posted to Twitter, "That essentially breaks down to $50-$100 limit with a $3 ante. If you play anything but the nuts it's pure spewage."
