Default Re: Is there anyway to make a Mississippi straddle/live straddle profi

I play live in Tunica three or four times a week and I straddle the cutoff and button 100% of the time. The games are usually playing 200-400bbs deep and the play is so god awful in Tunica that it's super profitable. It also makes you appear to be super crazy loose and the blinds will get frustrated because it's only their blinds getting straddled. This forces them to raise to 5x the straddle and stack off super light.

Cliff's Notes: Always Straddle the Button and CO and sometimes CO+1.

yes, and with this "connection" perhaps we could discuss various questions in some sort of global meeting place, call it a "message board" in lack of better terms, where we could get our questions answered without clever and/or ironic comments. alas, its an utopia

So what is the consensus on this? Say I'm playing 2/5 at the Rio and this is allowed and I am the best player at the table currently.

Should this be done in a:
1. weak tight game
2. lag game
3. lp game
4. tag game

Is it better to do this shorthanded, or full ring. I've thought about this and I can't come to see why this could be that great, other than creating an image. Also, assume stacks range from 50bb-500bb at the tables, and you're always playing 100bb or more.
