I’ve been working a lot on my preflop game recently, especially focusing on the difference between playing with and without antes in tournaments.

Without antes, I usually stick to a tighter opening range because the pot is smaller and there’s less dead money to fight for. But once antes kick in, it feels like there’s a huge incentive to widen my open-raising ranges, especially from late positions.

For example, I find myself opening hands like suited connectors, weaker suited aces, and even some offsuit broadways that I would normally fold earlier in the tournament. At the same time, I worry that I might be overdoing it and becoming too loose in spots where the table is aggressive.

So, I wanted to ask the community:

How do you personally adjust your opening ranges once antes are introduced?

Do you have specific hands that become automatic opens for you in late position with antes?

And how do you balance aggression with caution when the table has active 3-bettors?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and maybe see some examples of ranges or adjustments you make!
