LemOn36 returns with another Monthly Special, which this time covers a big change to your regular games.

If you play low stakes Zoom you already know that PokerStars have added antes to NL2-NL10 games. It's likely that they will do the same for the higher stakes if the games are popular. 

Tonight our coach will play these games live to give you the lowdown on what to expect, including:

  • How antes change the game
  • Can lowstakes Zoom still be profitable with antes?
  • How should you change your ranges preflop?
  • What does it mean to have shallower stack to pot ratios postflop?

Plus as always it will be a fun time in the chat. Antes could be a permanent fixture at PokerStars so get ahead of the curve tonight.
