Default Re: What does \"straddling\" mean?

[ QUOTE ]
It is a "house rule" in the sense that it is not universally allowed ( a blind raise is allowed [how can you stop it?], but it is not "live" ).

[/ QUOTE ]

For example, throughout Atlantic City I believe the straddle is not allowed (or not supposed to be), so the would-be straddler has to raise blind without the automatic option to reraise.

But I'd consider the straddle a "rule of poker" in the sense that everywhere live straddles are allowed, they function pretty much the same way.
