An ante is a small forced bet that every player at the table, not just two, must post into the pot before the cards are dealt. Unlike blinds, which fall on only two seats, an ante is collected from the entire table. Antes usually appear in the later stages of tournaments, where their purpose is to inflate the pot and force players to play more hands, speeding up the action as stacks shrink relative to the blinds.
