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

If you need to ask about the straddle, you're probably either totally lost, so tight they couldn't get a greased ball bearing up your ***, or you're one of those who need to lighten up and have a friggin' beer once in a while you're playing.


Reasons to straddle:


1. To buy last action before the flop


2. To juice up a tight game


3. To give yourself a loose image


4. To pointlessly jack it up


5. Because it's fun


Anyone who focuses on a straddle being "the worst bet in poker" is so hopelessly lost they can't be saved and should definitely be kicked directly in th nuts. Square.
