Holdem is dying/read article

[VanVeen]

big bet stud where the last two cards are dealt at the same time ("mississippi"?) is a badass game.

hopefully mixed big bet games with an ante take off. very high variance, you don't have to (can't) play as tight, and good players still have a significant (but mercurial) edge.

perhaps a stupid question, but why aren't nl games w/antes being spread online? it opens the game up tremendously. heck, it should be the default for deep-stacked nlhe.
