Hey guys, I wanted to ask for your input and opinion on this particular home game with a twist that I went to last week.
Basically, the twist was that besides the normal small and big blinds, the button player has to always put a 5BB straddle, resulting in the button closing action both preflop and postflop.
So, with this new rule the minimum you can limp for preflop is 5BB, and the small blind becomes UTG position preflop and the usual first to act postflop. Effective stack is also 5 times smaller as your regular stack of 100BB becomes 20 times the straddle, so you have a way smaller SPR compared to a regular game. If the game is $1/$2, the button has to always put $10 as a straddle.
I think I should buy in for $1000 instead of the usual $200 to have a more decent stack size of 100x straddle, any counterargument for this?
Does this game make the button a even more profitable position by getting to close the action both preflop and postflop?
Thank you all for your knowledge and input beforehand
