Default Re: 20%?? My answer, a little bit long (1)

Just one tiny bit of guidance: Your dismissal of the blinds in your analysis is alarming. I'm sure you've heard this before, but all poker is fundamentally a struggle for the dead money that is in the pot (blind or otherwise). No-blind-no-ante games reduce quickly to the absurd, and have little to do with poker as we know it.

Heh. One thing for sure, is that PLO as played online is NOT a struggle for the antes. Most of the players are crazy gamblers which is why they play it. The antes, to them, are irrelevant as to why they play the game. And I can guarantee that with the right line up - a lot of the online PLO players would qualify for this accolade - a no ante game would offer them few obstacles in the way of contriving situations where they were "all in".
