    Default Effective BB with Antes?

    This is a question I've been wondering about for a while.

    When the antes kick in, do I adjust the big blind amount to account for antes.
    i.e. It is 120/240/25 at a 9-handed table
    Then the starting pot is 585.
    I divide that amount by 3 getting roughly 200
    Then is the effective SB/BB 200/400?
    Meaning if I have a 4000 chip stack, do I have 10BB? Or do I have a 17 BB stack (BB = 240)?

    Thanks

    the semantics don't matter, but you should not play the same at 120/240 as you would at 120/240/25. You'll shove wider with antes.

    Read HOH 2 and/or Kill Everyone.
