I don't know if 1/10th is considered small. I thought it was somewhere in the middle.
It was reasonable for higher limits, but pretty really small for the lowest limits. like maybe it was a quarter ante for both 1/2 and 2/4.
I consider 1/10 to be small; that is the smallest I have ever seen in a live stud game. the ante for 10/20 in Atlantic City was $1, but it always felt really small and like it encouraged very tight play. Can't even imagine a 1/20 ante. I think the $3 ante for 20/40 is the sweet spot.
