my cardroom is much more laid back than most. We do allow a player that "didnt notice it was a straddle" to pull back his undercall and muck his cards.

Oddly enough i can't think of any reason a player would want to limp only if there was no straddle, but fold if there was a straddle.

Pots with straddles tend to get raised preflop on average twice as often and end up with fewer players seeing the flop. This makes limping in with small pairs and suited connectors much less profitable.

I would agree that should happen, but the weak games I see everyone limps and then the straddle checks most of the time.
