    It's highly unlikely, as there is no need for them, given the nature of the Structures on Sky Poker.

    Antes, aka "Running Antes" or "RA's", are used to spice up & speed up the action towards the middle & end of slow structured Tournaments.

    I enjoy them very much, but they ONLY work in certain types of Tourneys, of which there are very few on Sky Poker.

    i personally dont like antis because it makes it slightly more complicated how many BBs you have left... i guess im just not used to them.

    unless the structures change theres no need/point really

    one thing you can never say sky tourneys are is boring or lacking pre flop play

    Agree 100%, there's just no point, as the Structures are already fast enough. With ante's, they'd be unplayable.

    delta whats your thoughts on this?you say it has to come but yet give no reason why, what tournament could you put ante's on sky? answer is none unless maybe a deepstack but then that would be rubbish imo

    please put your reasons why you think this has to happen because i am just bewildered here.

    I think antes are a good idea in slow structured full ring tourneys but, in six-max, they would speed things up a little too much.

    dont want them on 6 seater tourneys, however they are ok if the blinds are long, the chip stacks big, and the amount of players high (1000 plus) say

    There will be aprox 1400 runners in the next  leg of the TKO on tues. Would this be a good torney to include them?.................:) :):)

    Sorry na, although it does reach one of my criteria (my big word of the day) the blinds are too steep and with 6 seaters they come round fast enough already!!
