Default Re: Home game confusrion, are these typical rules?

In the dealer choice games, we ante every game, because some games are ante games, some are blind games, but it's not fair to the players if you post blinds when the guy to your right picks a blind game, and then have to post again when someone else picks an ante game.

The way I handle my dealer's choice home game is to make one's choice last for the entire orbit, with the dealer of each individual hand (in ante games) posting the antes for everyone. This means that the posted antes even out by the end of the orbit.

Having the dealer post antes eliminates the need for the smaller denomination chips which wouldn't be needed for the HE/Omaha games, and eliminates the almost constant question "O.K., who forget to ante?"
