Auto Ante
Auto ante is an online option that posts your ante automatically each hand.
The simple explanation
Auto ante is an online option that posts your ante for you each hand. If it is switched on, the software puts in the ante automatically. If it is off, you have to pay each ante yourself by clicking a button.
A closer look
Automatic posting saves time and avoids missed antes. Without it, a player who forgets to ante is not dealt in. Many sites switch the option on by default, and some use it only in tournaments with antes. In live poker the dealer collects the antes, and players do not have to do anything.
A practical example
A player switches on auto ante, and the software posts the ante each hand.
