I mississippi straddle when it is available but I never understood the utg straddle. How can that be a profitable play? Would you want to pot it with AA utg after you got the whole table to limp? They are still capable of sniffing aces. See above with the K72 flop and say my hand is AAKQ. With 4 to the flop it still is not that exciting. I would say that K72 is the BEST kind of flop, more realistically it would be 37t.

you are at a table full of gamblers, you should encourage the vibe, not kill it with your nittyness. the last thing you want to do is have the next guy stop straddling, and then the next guy after him stop stradding just cuz you aren't and then having everybody hate you.
