I mean seriously.<br /><br />And even if that was possible, it wouldn't work. If an attractive woman with a large rack enters a poker room, almost all the male players are gonna be staring at her.

I think the $4 lost has paid for itself many times over in getting called light down the road... but that is just my opinion.<br /><br />Where the action starts, I really have no opinion. I suppose if I am in the blinds to a habitual straddle machine, I want the action to start under the gun... but I don't see it being a big deal like some people make it out.<br /><br />The casino I normally play at has the TBC approved way of straddling, except that it takes TWO raises for the straddle to act in turn, and the straddle amount can be the min. up to all in. I like this, if I am having a winning night, I'll throw a few $12-$15 straddles out there.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04744136002772588501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-31205665796640172012015-04-02T21:47:06.555-07:002015-04-02T21:47:06.555-07:00Don't mind it....or like to do it yourself?Don't mind it....or like to do it yourself?Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.com
