I think I laid out t...Thanks for commenting, Dave.<br /><br />I think I laid out the reasons for hating the button straddle in the post I linked to in the current post. When the action starts on the small blind, as it did at Harrah's, it changes the whole nature of the game way too much. It's a total unfair penalty to impose on the blinds. As for your response....well, you know, most hands shouldn't be played out of position anyway, so why even bother to give players cards if they're not in the cut off or on the button. Save them from calling when they shouldn't, right? :)<br /><br />And if it really does help the button, why give the button that much of a boost, since the button is already at an advantage? Yeah, you are rewarding the risk-takers, the aggressors. But look at the big picture. It may be fine for a big stake game where everyone is comfortable playing for those higher stakes. but at an entry level game like 1/2, do you really want to discourage new players from trying the game? I think that's what you might be doing by allowing the button straddle. <br /><br />I totally forgot that you called my set of deuces. Sorry. I'll go back and edit the post.<br /><br />Hope to see you again soon.

I think that's a very half-empty view of things. I like to think it helps the big blind fold hands he shouldn't be calling with anyway, and saving any decision he would have if he were last to act.<br />Pretty disappointed you didn't mention I called your 22 hand ... twice.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00167464860992746638noreply@blogger.com
