[b]Re: Straddle[/b]

I don't think it's a really good play if you're the one putting out the straddle since you're basically the third blind and someone behind you can put in a raise and then you can't call or are behind if you do call when holding junk or moderate hands.  It's something to do when you're just having fun or to build money in the pot.  It's profitable if you're the one who gets the good cards or are in position to steal the raised pot.

I know when I'm playing a cash game with family (it's really tiny limits like 0.10/0.20 - so we're not taking that much money from family), we just put out the straddle for kicks and to see if someone will put the double/triple straddle out.  Then afterwards realizing that may not have been the best play technically - but it's for fun anyways to see these random plays.

Now, if only online sites would allow to put the live straddle out there.  May make the game more complicated.  Some sites may have it, but I just don't know.  Don't play too much online now and the sites I do play on don't have that option.  I guess it's just a live game thing.
