Re: Live Game Situation - How do I adjust?
It's a problem because I can't isolate him that easily with 8 players left to act. They are not idiots...they're not going to continually fold decent starting hands when I raise a straddle.
In the long run I don't think this rule is unfair, but in the short term (that night) I think it was unfair to me because of the positional disadvantage - that I was then unprepared for. I just don't see the reasoning for the rule, while it may not be unfair - it certainly doesn't add any value. If I wanted to play 5/10 instead of 2/5 I would have put my name on that list.
