Hello! Paired doorcard VS ante structure
 

In general,a paired doorcard from a player in a high ante game is not indicative of a strong combined hand.
The reason is that a player is usually playing looser hands on 3rd.
Since the game is high ante,he must struggle to recoup lost antes in order to remain viable in the game.

On the contrary,in an average ante game,the opposite is usually correct---a player has a strong combined 4th Str. hand when he pairs his doorcard.
Therefore , be more inclined to play 4th Str. in a high ante game and less inclined to continue in an average ante game.

This all assumes that players adjust to the ante structures correctly. People should play tighter in a $3/6 game with a $.25 ante than they do in a $3/6 game with a $.50 ante. I don't think that most players adjust at all.

I think the main thing to consider when deciding whether to call a paired door card is how likely it is that the bettor started with a split pair. Factors to consider include the rank of his door card, what his action was on third street, and what his range of hands is for that action.
