Default Re: I don\'t understand the point of straddling...

Quick story. About a year ago on the poker web-cast "Live at the Bike" we were playing 3-5 blind 300-500 spread buyin NL and the table was for the most part full of tightish (for LA [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] ) regulars or semi-regulars. We could see the show was going to be terrible with small pots so we agreed to straddle the whole night. One guy who wasn't a regular held out. I gave him no action that night and neither did anyone else.

PS Nate's comments on straddling are very good.
