Default Re: Straddle Discussion

Having played with Jimmy for almost 3 years, as long as you are having fun and its a good atmosphere he will not leave unless he has something else to do. Back in the day when I was just starting out in the 30 game I played at least 5 overnight sessions with Jimmy where he blew more than 10 dimes. You don't need to straddle to keep Jimmy there or happy, you just need to not patronize him, respect him, and talk to him about things other than poker. And once he gets stuck 5k you dont need to talk to him anymore.

PS. Jimmy is one of the nicest and fun guys you could ever hope to play with, terrible player or not.
