Default Re: The Straddle

I play in a weekly 1/3 NL game that rotates week to week. an UTG straddle is allowed but restraddling is allowed and quite common. It is not unusual for the straddle to reach $48.
It creates action in the game and can be used for deception. A tight player new to a game can straddle to give himself a table image to exploit.
