Re: What does straddle mean?
A straddle is a blind raise by the player to the immediate left of the big blind. Like a blind it is "live": The straddler can raise his own straddle if he likes his hand. In general, it is a foolish thing to do. However, if everyone else is doing it, it might be worthwhile to go along to keep the game loose. People generally straddle because they want to GAMBOOL!
