In response to: How I think you should play larger antes

You are being rather vague....are you talking about in mtt's and blinds or ring games where your sit in with table min??? If you're talking about the rings...then you are sitting in at a table beyond your bank roll, or you should bring more than table min. If you are talking about tournaments....well there's not much that can be done there, just pick your spots... ie: todays $2000 vip, i was on the bubble with 250 left. I still had 7000 chips left, but the blinds were 200-400 and limping was not an option (too many big stacks waiting in the bushes)....so I gave myself one call of a short stack, after I double him up (AQ vs J7) I shut it down waiting for that preimium hand. Well, nothing came (once I had AQ again but I was in terrible possition and 2 big stacks had already moved) & I was slowly blinded out, but I did managed to use the time to move up to finish in 88th. So I could have moved with "any 2 cards" (as I was told by a big stack with 100 players left and me with my 23o/s & 90% of my stack in the SB), but I wouldn't have had the finish I did!
