Re: Straddle Inquiry
[ QUOTE ]
I asked a shift supervisor about it last night (the floormen I asked had no clue) and he said the California Gambling Commission has outlawed the practice of a live straddle in limit hold 'em. It seems like a totally bizzare law and I'm not sure I buy it, but it must be some kind of law because there is no other reason I can think of why the casinos themselves would not allow it.
I thought someone on here might have some information, but I guess they don't. Oh well.

That would make logical sense as Poker is considered to be a skilled card game and CA only allows skilled card games. The practise of straddling is clearly a gamble, thus it is a rule that should not be allowed in a skilled game. But since when does logic matter in politics?
