I would suggest stop being such a hater. And brush up on your poker terminology. "straddle to $30," indeed. You'd be re-straddling or raising his blind raise depending on the specifics.

Complaining about straddling is maybe a level below complaining about people who raise on good draws or raise in AK in a 2/4 game. Anyway, if you can't call two bets with your hand, it probably wasn't worth playing for one anyway.

And at the B, it's just a blind raise, since the gaming commission does not allow (live) straddles in AC.
