Default Straddle, re-straddle, and double-re-straddle

Straddle - do this when you are good and drunk. It's going to be "live" here in vegas, which means it's another blind, and you can pointlessly jack it up some more when it comes to you by raising yourself again. You're basically buying last action, and the right to make it three bets before the flop, no matter what.

re-straddle - do this when the guy on your right straddles. It's not live, but it does attain the goal of pointlessly jacking up the pot some more if the straddler doesn't reraise himself.

Double-re-straddle. Do this after your 12th redbull and vodka at MGM in the 6-12 game when there are two Magoo looking las vegas dealers who also post on 2+2 in your game who have already straddled and re-straddled.

Open-cap - do this when it's straddled, re-straddled, and double-re-straddled and you are the first one to act who doesn't have money in the pot already and you have pocket aces.*

* all this actually happened last monday night at MGM on their opening night! 2+2=Super-Magoo!
