The only time I get ticked off and stressed in this situation is when the live straddle enemy is straddling my blinds. Then I am not sure what to do because I can not get a read on him, and because everyone else has entered the pot. The other players all know see he straddles each and every time he is utg so they call his straddle lite. I can sort of understand why. If they connect with the flop it was a good gamble, but all those times they miss the flop it just eats their stack up.
So what do I do as the blind? If I call like everyone else and the enemy is anything like all the loose live straddle enemies I have played with in the past I am totally afraid of massive dead money raise from the live straddle once the action gets to him. No one else has raised so he feels like he can just force most of the people out of the pot. This totally gets to me and puts me on tilt.
If the live straddle is always on my blinds I will change seats as soon as one opens. Then I can simply have patients and wait for the perfect opportunity I wait and wait and wait. Once aagain the live straddle enemy does his thing, everybody has limped in up until it gets to me. "Oh snap I have a big pocket pair in the hole." I quickly do the math in my head. "Ok that is $3 from the blinds. The $4 straddle makes it $7. After the 2 limpers there is an additional $8 in the pot for a total of $15." Now I push $15 into the pot. Everyone folds around to the small blind. Now it doesn't matter. All of the people already in the pot are going to rethink things. They called because they thought they would see the flop and maybe make a hand. Now I have said, "Guess what I already have a good hand." This goes back to the dead money thinking that the live straddle enemy is working off of, but now I am taking advantage of the same theory. Now I hope the live straddle enemy either calls or plays back at me. Score a big pot for me.
