Contrast that to HORSE at Rio the day before where we had next to no issues with antes being posted (despite many at the table having little experience with live stud games and the antes that go with it) and I am now officially NOT a fan of the big blind ante.
While the run in HORSE was not as deep as I would have liked, I DID have a good run in the $550 (essentially bubbling) so it was not like I only had a few hours to draw my comparison.
Side note: for those playing at Wynn, expect the stupid bag checks entering the poker room. Makes absolutely ZERO sense to wait until someone is that deep into the property to look at a bag. Makes even LESS sense when you see a tournament player more than once on the same date. Inconveniencing players is rarely a good thing...especially when there is precisely zero levels of safety being provided by the inconvenience.
