Default 8/b -Strategy Changes for the new limits

Scags is saying that the small $1 ante relative to the smaller bet at 10/20 requires playing fewer starting hands than usual. 15/30 has a $2 ante so you shouldn't play as tight. What about 20/40? 30/60? Should the different structures also affect your play on later streets?

Default Re: 8/b -Strategy Changes for the new limits

a very good article, thanks! one thing I was thinking about when reading is that ante stealing is such a bigger part of high stud than 8/b .. what this means is that in 10/20 the value is even less because of the large initial raise compared to the pot size. At 30/60, ante stealing is much more profitable, though it's still harder to steal at any form of 8/b as the bi usually has a low card which represents 1/3 of a playable hand.
