I just don't think not straddling will really hurt anything. I gave him far more action than you did last night too...

[/ QUOTE ] If I didn't think he'd take it well I wouldn't use his name, though you have no idea if that is really his name or just a monicker I made up or that he made up. I'm not too concerned about it. Plus I genuinely like the guy and I think he knows that and he likes me so whatever.

He knows in general we're in it for the money. He also knows he goes there to gamble and have a good time at the expense of money. He's got more than enough and just wants to have fun.

Re: Straddle Discussion
On the remote chance that Jimmy would read this I highly doubt he would care at all. He may be a terrible card player but he isn't stupid, the guy knows he plays bad. He has a lot of money and comes to gamble and have a good time.

Re: Straddle Discussion
I commonly will live straddle once or twice early in my session, especially if I can get one or two other people to go along with it. The amount that it loosens up the table is SO worth the extra $ put in while straddling.
I think its +EV if you have a few people that a live straddle or two plus some lively chat will liven up the game. If the game doesnt need to be livened up, but it'll keep a huge donator having fun, I'd do that too. If he's a degenerate gambler who would play regardless, then meh. Nick

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.
