∙ 14y agoAn ante in Poker is used to force the action on the table, just like the blinds. Only the blinds are higher then the ante.
Ante's are frequently used in later stages of tournaments & SitnGo's to force action.
Action is forced this way because the pot is bigger pre-flop, attracting more players to bet or raise to claim the pot without going to the flop and the ante's are also decreasing players' stack when not being in the blinds, making them play more often if they don't want to get short stacked by folding blinds/ante's.
