Re: straddling the button 3 handed
I used to always straddle 3 handed when I've had the option but now I try to not do if the other two players are the type to make it so it will be capped back to me often (but not if I normally open raised the button) or if the BB is the sort of player who will fight for pots with nothing. If the BB is the type who needs pairs to continue then straddling the button is only like the greatest thing ever because the SB almost always plays much tighter and then the BB will be waiting around forever to snap you off and before he knows it he has let you win 40 bets waiting to trap you for 5.
