Re: Benifits of the straddle
[ QUOTE ]
There are no benefits to a straddle. Only numbnuts want to voluntarily put extra money in a pot without the benefit of seeing their cards.
It's ok as a fun element but if you are playing to win money it is the pits.

This is just out and out wrong from a table-image perspective. You want a happy fun gambling table. If you occaisonally have to throw away 1bb to get that, so be it. (And really it's not like you lose 1bb every time, because sometimes you have a hand)
