SILLY silly silly play, you should NEVER straddle, look at your cards first, then raise if you like, remember your out of position and raising without even seeing your cards.
We had a "Triple Straddle" the other night, folk getting desperate.
SB - 25 pts
BB - 50 pts
UTG - Straddles to 100 pts
+1 - Double Straddles to 150 pts
+2 - Treble Straddles to 200 pts.
Bearing in mind when you buy-in or top-up you only get 500 pts, these three just had a fresh top-up so you know that the full 500 pts are going in somewhere!
I hate this play, you look down at AA and know your gonna be up against at least 3 others, makes it hard for any hand to hold up.
