However, I kind of like it when others straddle. I lets the pot play bigger when I have good hands. Sometimes, if the straddler likes to over-raise his straddle a lot, I can even deep limp with AA and kill the straddler when he over-raises with 77-AA/AJ+.

You like it when others straddle,and feel it adds to your win rate but you won't do anything to encourage it? Why not ask the entire table to straddle? Is that -EV? Obviously not.

I see this thread is still going. My thoughts are as above and no post here has changed that.

I like it also when people straddle because they are putting themselves in a -EV position as far as I am concerned. If I could encourage people to do this without me having to join in I would. However, everybody agreeing to straddle just nullifies any advantage.
