Default Re: Who decides first, straddler or poster?

Why would someone seated in the cutoff want to pull back the post in this situation? You're going to post eventually to start playing hands again, and this situation is better than waiting and posting with slightly worse position and with less blind money in the pot.

In a 4/8, it will now cost him at least $10 to see the flop, guaranteed. If there is no straddle, it will cost him $6.

Sure, there is $8 more blind money in the pot, but the CO poster has to put an additional $4 to chase it.
