Default Re: Straddling is money

[ QUOTE ]
if they have a problem I saw "raise" rather than straddle

Right, but the difference is that a straddle allows the straddler to take last action if no one raised the straddle. A blind raise, like other raises, doesn't allow you to reraise yourself.

My favorite Foxwoods dealer, Joseph the Smart-Ass, is a big hit when he recites the definition. One guy wanted to hear it each time it was his turn to straddle again.
