But based off the link below, it advises to add 66% as an ante adjusted BB. What is the logic behind it? Any help would be much appreciated!
They aren't saying to add 66% to the pot, they are saying to multiply the preflop pot before any voluntary raises are made by 66% (2/3) to find out the effective big blind were there no antes.
The logic is that, with no antes, there are two contributions to the pot. One small blind (0.5bb) and one big blind (1bb). 1bb/(0.5bb+1bb) = 2/3 of the pot is contributed by the big blind in the absence of antes.
In your example, there is 2500 chips in the pot before any voluntary raises. 2500*2/3 = 1666.67, which in this method you can treat as the big blind level as would be equivalent to playing without antes. i.e. You can now play your 20k stack, which would be effectively 20bb without antes, as a 20k/1666.67 = 11.99bb stack.
This is a useful heuristic if you know the non-ante shove/fold ranges.
