Full Tilt Poker released a new update to their poker software earlier this week, in fact, if you attempted to install the update last Friday, you might have noticed the site went down for a little more than an hour. One of the new features Full Tilt added to their software was an ante, which, In addition to the big blind bet, and the small blind bet will be another forced action at select Full Tilt Poker ring tables.

To be clear, not every table at Full Tilt Poker will require players to pay an ante to play the game, however, some tables will at do require antes. Full Tilt is offering players the option of sitting at an ‘ante’ table, if you’d rather not, just double check the table that you’re about to sit at and be sure it’s not one of the new ante tables. If you are at an ante table there’s still a big blind, and a small blind, but every player will place a small ante into the pot at the start of each hand, before the cards are dealt, this will assist players in building the pots, and very likely the amount of rake rakeback poker players are able to earn in hands. Additionally, it will make the rocks put a few cents into the table every hand, instead of every revolution.

There’s a box in the Full Tilt Poker lobby Right hand side of the screen that is the key for all of Full Tilt Pokers icon symbols, look there for the new Ante symbol and the word ante to find these tables (or to make sure that you’re not sitting at one of them inadvertently).
