Good luck in the game. Online there is no need, its mostly this format Live to speed up the game, otherwise the dealer would be constantly reminding everyone to get their antes in, plus players wouldn't have enough chips. It would be hard work!!
You don't really have to change your strategy I don't think, as opposed to any online tourney where the antes add up to roughly 1bb.
Its more about paying attention to it, being aware that OK right now you have 13bbs, but this will be 11bbs in a few
hands. Especially when the blinds maybe go up soon, you can go from short stack to very very short incredibly quickly!!
Maybe players defend their BB more as they feel like its more of their own chips, but I haven't noticed this particularly when I play live.
Where I play often the level starts at 100/100/100 which can be confusing if you've not played live before, as BB,SB, BB ante are all the same for that level.
One final thing is sometimes on a short handed table, maybe 5 players, the rule could be for half antes!!
