Re: Live potlimit holdem - Why Straddle? SPR
The SPR may be more attractive for top pair but with two random cards I would imagine the other people involved in the pot are more likely to make top pair rather than your blind hand.
It could only make sense to me if the weak player was in the blinds and it was a relatively passive table. Even then, opening your range up UTG and always opening with a raise in that situation might be more effective as players behind you are less likely to get involved and it gives you control over which hands you play.
