Poker stars Unl.. Ante or not?

[fletchdad]

I have never really played the ante tables. The players per flop and average pot size are quite larger than normal tables. (pot size will be bigger with ante, but I mean like a LOT bigger compared to non ante tables)

What is there to consider before playing at ante tables?

Well i dont think that it makes big difference, how big is the ante compared to the BB?

 

[fletchdad]

Ante is 1/2 BB. But the tables have average pots of 30-50BB and players/flop is minimum 30% where as normal tables run like average pot 10-25BB and plrs/flp from 10%.

The play is much looser at the ante tables. I was just wondering if there is a reason..??

well as far as i know, the more dead money is in the table the lower equity you need to be at +EV situation For example with enough dead money at the table, stacking off AKo with 43% equity becomes +EV, plus post flop youre getting the lot better odds to draw, also youre getting better odds to setmine etc... thats what i would think it happens there, never really played there nor im knowledgeable on the topic...
