This is nonsense, we talked about the fact Ante 1st could create a bad situation
1 short player VS the whole table without any chances to play for more than the ante.
Matt is just enforcing WPT rule. The only events I worked in Europe which use Ante 1st are WPT events. PokerStars is BB 1st, PartyPoker switched to BB Ante (from BTN Ante) and are now BB 1st, National Tours in France, Netherlands and Spain are BB 1st, Unibet Live is BB 1st even WSOP Circuit events are BB 1st (when they are not BTN Ante)
Matt should start to listen those who are working on the tables nowadays instead of those who did not deal a single card for the last 10 years.
