dik9 Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! It's not in any of the major rules though (on memory alone) for No limit games to include Straddles, if the table agrees then i suppose it is pheasable, but just to up the stakes really.

Football-Tipper Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! Cheers for the links very interesting' date=' but at the start of the episode, it sounded like there was a vote going on whether they would be excepted. The majority 5 - 3 agreed, in this particular case,[b'] isn't it just a case to see who has the biggest cock? If it were a rule, why would they have to vote? Looks like i have got egg on my face, :$ Still wouldn't allow it in one of my comps though:unsure And why would this be :rollin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaF Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! Sorry .... I don't quite get it :unsure Am I right in understanding that a straddle bet is a minimum riase (made blind)? Why not look at your cards first, then decide whether to minimum raise? :unsure Why would you want to get the action going, and build a pot when UTG? Especially blind? If you want to raise, surely you're better off waiting till you're in position? (and having looked at your cards) :unsure I'm clearly not quite getting it :unsure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Football-Tipper Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! Correct me if im wrong but by making the straddle you take away the option from the BB thus making you the new BB and leaving you with the final option.

Football-Tipper Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! This rule though changes from game to game, Limit poker you take away the option from the BB but not in Pot Limit, Not 100% sure about No Limit as I havent tried it yet only in Pot Limit and Limit games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodger Posted March 10, 2007 Author Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! As I see it...very murkily by the way...a Straddle will make you the new BB position. But each player in turn has the option of Straddling again, so if they then become the new BB position then the original straddler could end up hopelessly out of position. I think!

mrmuzeman Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! In cash games things like straddles, rabbit hunting, running it twice etc etc, they are all allowed, players just have to agree to them. Live cash is sort of like a game where the players decide what goes cos its all their own money etc on the line, rules get relaxed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullet1984 Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! We regularly sraddle up to £16 when we play £1/2. Its also a kind of unwritten rules as well that the last hand of the night goes up to £8 minimum straddle. Makes for some exciting bluffs and rebluffs.

Jimany Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Re: Straddle Bets...oh boy! Ive seen once in the local casino near me in the 1/2 blinds; UTG straddles to 5 next position to 15 next position to 25 next position to 50 It's just full of gamblers with money to spend having a laugh really :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
