Think I found my answer. It seems the new trend in holdem is now that the button, or in some casinos,
the big blind posts an ante that is equal to the big blind. This way when it comes to antes you don't have to wait
for everyone to post an ante as it all falls on the big blind to post the entire ante for the table. So if the blinds are
440-800 then the big blind must post 1600, 800 for the big blind and another 800 for the ante. Not sure how I
feel about that. Now it looks like the wsop will be using this system. This must be what he is referring to. I wonder
if all poker rooms will do this or if it is just an option.
