What is another word for ante positions?
Pronunciation: [ˈantiː pəzˈɪʃənz] (IPA) 
Ante positions, also known as the first positions in poker, are the seats closest to the dealer where players have to make a mandatory bet before the game begins. However, these positions can vary in name and terminology depending on the poker version being played. In Texas Hold'em poker, the two positions immediately left of the dealer are the small blind and big blind, while in Omaha poker, they are known as the small blind, big blind, and the under-the-gun position. In seven-card stud poker, the positions are called forced bets, and in Caribbean Stud, they are known as the anchor and bring-in positions. Regardless of their names, understanding the various ante positions is crucial for any poker player.
