Antes and Blinds

#1 20th September 2011, 9:16 AM

Hello everyone!
I'm trying to learn more about poker tournaments before i play a live game. In a no limit hold' em tournament at level 4 when the antes come into play, how much will it cost to play the hand? For example:

ante: $25
small blind: $100
big blind: $200

If i am in late position and i post the ante, how much more will it cost to continue playing? $175?? If i am the small or big blind do i have to post an ante as well as the blind?

All replies are greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Your blue text is just horrible fyi.

Treat an ante as something thats handed over just like a blind, once you post it it's gone and in the pot. So if you want to limp its 200 to call. If you are in the blinds, then yes you post an ante as well as a blind.

Hope this helps.

Antes must be paid by all players before the hand no matter what, if u have less the ante, then your all in
after the antes are posted in the pot, the SB and BB are posted by the prespective payers. too get into the hand u must call the BB, if u are in the SB then u just have finish the BB wish is half of what u put in. so to come in for the cheapest, u will have your ante in , then have to call the BB which is a seperate amount

Hope that helps
