Re: Benifits of the straddle
Obviously putting in a blind raise is bad.
And in LHE, it's even worse, since most bad players (at low/mid stakes at least) call too often, and the extra money in the pot from the straddle makes their calls "less bad," or even good on occasion.
However, in specific circumstances, straddling can be profitable (although I suppose this can be said about most things).
