I hosted a couple of weeks ago and only three guys showed up. We played dealer's choice, and I couldn't get them to play more than a couple of orbits of HE before it ended up being a battle of 7CS (me) vs. follow the Q (the three of them).
What cracked me up was that they would play to the showdown and then not know how to read their hand (one guy read his straight flush as three 7's). Lucky for them we let the cards speak.
I personally wouldn't like the ante in jm's game. You'll have to change your strategy a little since the extra $2.50 in the pot preflop will improve the odds for playing drawing hands.
