Sky Poker Forums is upgrading its look! Stay tuned for the big reveal!
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
I'd love to see them myself, just because it adds a little extra spice to the game when people are getting short stacked.
I personally play a lot of double up tournaments and also feel that they would end quicker if this was introduced at around about level 6.
I just feel that this would make an overall improvement

Be interesting to see what others think though.
What I'd say to that though is it can work both ways from there on in. The short stack could fall away more quickly but it also gives them a chance to win more chips via pushing as they are more chips in the pot.
As far as tournament play goes I guess level 6 would be much too early a level for them to come in. I guess that'd be one for the men in suits...
Ante's create action, that's a given, which is why it's well-suited to a 10-handed game. However, one of the benefits of a 6-handed table vs a 10-handed table is that it forces more action as the blinds come around quicker. Hence, are ante's really necessary? Also, we have plenty of crapshoots on the site as it is, introducing ante's to tournaments like The Open and the Speed Tournaments that run ever hour is just going to make the structure even worse.
I want to repeat that I would like to see ante's implemented on the site, but only in the right circumstances.
