Ante Question



Posted Mon Nov 10, 2008 3:16 am GMT by Smudge
Quick question,

I was playing an online tournament recently, got pretty deep and there were Antes as well as blinds. I was moved from one table to another and slotted into the previously empty Small Blind position. I wasnt dealt into the next hand, which obviously I get cos the guy next to me would have had to pay the BB two hands in a row but I did pay an Ante. Is this right? If I am not being dealt into a hand because of soemthing beyond my control should I be paying the Ante?

Was a very little number of chips so no big deal just wondered if it was right.

If you don't get dealt in, you shouldn't be paying anything, antes or blinds.
