Ah!

No, that's not quite what he means. He considers a [B]large ante[/B] to be more than 15% of the average future bet, and a [B]small ante[/B] to be less than 5% of the average future bet (first page of the chapter, near the bottom). It has nothing to do with what stakes you're playing -  only what the ante is in comparison to the bet size.

At a 10-seat limit hold 'em table, with the blinds at 0.5SB and 1SB respectively, there will be 1.5SB in the pot before play begins. This is the total ante for the table. Since his example counts the "invidual ante," we need to calculate it for each person at the table - who on average pays 0.15SB per hand. Right?

The average future bet is 1.5SB (two betting rounds of 1SB, two betting rounds of 2SB), meaning that the ante is 10% of the average future bet. It is, in other words, square in the middle for what Sklansky considers a normal ante.

Food for thought: How does this affect a 6-max table?
