Agreeing to straddle along with a bunch of monkeys is a very bad idea. By creating huge pots you now have far less opportunities to outplay them since the pot size will dictate that you play similarly to them after the flop.

A table full of tilters is majorly +EV for you. Why would you throw it all back by joining them? If the table is absolutely that nutty there are plenty who will straddle even when you don't.

If this doesn't convince you, go back and read the relevant sections of HPFAP (re maniacs).
