Big ante being added

squatter2 · #1 12-31-2005, 11:46 AM

I play in a 20/40 cash game every week. I'm already in over my head (I'm a beginner with rich friends, no I can't get you invited [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]). The other guys want to move the game to include a $20 ante raising the cost of playing form $60 to $240 a round. Obviously sitting back and waiting for AA isn't going to work so well (not that it was working great to begin with...). Any other advice on how to play such a game? Thx.

Wait, $20/$40 no-limit, and with a $20 ante now? What kind of stack sizes are common here?

Buy in before ante was $4,000, going to $$10,000 with ante. And I don't know what I'm doing. Bad combo I know...

most private 25/50 games full of businessman who like to gamble up together arent exactly looking for action from 25 yr old whiteboy pros... they are not gonna let you in the game unless you have some friends that are way way in and will vouch... there is no effing way i could get into the best local games unless i transformed into a 45yo vietnamese or arab guy or something.

That sounds like a lot of fun. Nits will get taken apart, which is super-awesome.
