Re: Making up your blind with a straddle
We, At Horseshoe Tunica, just changed our rules in regards to missing the blinds and the straddle. In a 2-5 game you can straddle from any position including the button. If you missed your blind you used to be able to come in any position for a $10 straddle. That rule has been changed. If you want to straddle you have to make up the small and big blind, $7, plus the $10 straddle making it $17 with only $10 of it being live. We we're having problems with a few players intentionally missing their blinds and coming in behind the button for $10 giving them much better position. In our 1-3 game you can miss your blinds and come in under the gun for $6. There is no "Mississippi straddle" in our 1-3 game.
