5-10 preflop question

UTG straddled. 3 years ago, I'd assume everybody knows what this means, and I still assume that. But, I'll explain it. It means that he put out a $20 blind UTG, and got last action preflop.

Thank you! God! For all this time, progressing up to high stakes, I ALWAYS wondered what that meant. I was always too embarrassed to ask, so thank you.

Oh, and I like the limp, backraise strategy on this guy if he really is raising all his straddles. But, not with anything crappier than JJ for sure. If, on the off chance, it gets limped around, who cares? So, hope to flop a J or just play it cautious, don't lose yourself a big pot just because you limped with JJ, it's an easy fold usually.
