Straddle Anywhere?

Well the great thing about the button is position throughout. Even before you enter the betting pre flop you have information on all the players apart from SB and BB. You can then act accordingly. Why would you want to negate this huge advantage by putting in a straddle here? You are effectively posting a huge blind as acting UTG. It would be madness IMHO.

Well you still act last on all post flop streets but you also get to act last preflop too. In this scenario SB is first to act preflop.
