Default Stud and Ante on the button.

In a local Home game we play a 3 game mixed rotation. The Stud-8 is played with a $1 ante with the button (Used just to tell what hand number we are on) paying for all players (8 players, button puts out $8) We find this speeds things along instead of playing "Who hasn't anted yet" Now here is the situation.

2 seat pays the $8 for his round of antes. and goes broke that hand. Since he has payed for a full round of antes should he be allowed to play the remainder of the round "All-in" for the $8 each hand.What if he has to bring in? Is there a rule to deal with a player who has just enough to cover the ante?

I know the host can rule anything he likes, but I would like to have a half way decent rebuttal should this ever happen.(It always seems to happen to the guy who has not yet posted his round of antes)

Think of the dealer ante as covering your ante obligation for the previous orbit not the one upcoming.

In Stud, you cannot be all-in for the ante. You need at least an ante and a bring-in.

Also, I'd shut down anyone who pulled the "oh, it's my button? Time to go home" routine.

No, he can't.

Typically, the minimum rebuy in b&M card rooms is 5BB. That's how this situation should be handled.
