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

I dont see why it it wouldnt, technically the straddle is put on by the first person to act, so it's the same thing as raising the minimum except youre not looking at your cards.

Uh no. A live straddle (as most people are discussing) means that the person placing it has not yet acted and gets to act last preflop. It is not just a blind bet.
