Live Straddle

[Dsperz]

sometimes if I'm am in a pretty tight game and have been catching cold cards I will straddle. If I get 3 or 4 people to call I will put a large raise in with my option, or even move all in knowing that none of them can call, and this allows me to pick up a pot with little risk. You have to be careful with the all-in move though, because someone will catch on.
