I dont get the straddling.. Do full time players straddle?
As far as I know they dont.

Straddling gets negative points for the voting. It's just a double blind posted to induce action.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with straddling in deep stack NL poker, especially if the table is playing tight.

I'll give you the point of deep stack NL., but I would prefer to just raise from UTG. I personaly do not like posting. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Interesting.

I love to do it because it projects a loose image, when in most games I play a very TAG game.

It's good to advertise your looseness and maybe get caught once or twice bluffing to get paid big down the road.

I guess straddling is the same cost as limping, but I'd rather limp with hands tha tI see rather than random hands. I guess straddling gives a better loose image though. Makes sense.

Why is it so hard for these guys to fold 2nd pair in a multi action pot?
Does he really need that much time? [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Happy Friday to all LATB fans.
Have fun drinking, guys. I like Spaten with lemon.

Max had a pretty tough decision there. He's basically coinflipping vs 2 pair and is obliterated vs a straight and maybe 2.5:1 dog vs a set. I also think set might make that raise.

[cwsiggy]

uh oh - I see trouble brewing in the thread.

[cwsiggy]

Isn't that a bit aggressive to move in like that with two overs on the board. What am I missing here? I know he had position.

FWIW, it seemed aggressive to me.

To save the question from being asked, it's not 2+2's own El Diablo.

In other L@TB news, what are the plans for next Thursday and Friday?

Edit: Since that was answered before you saw my Q, will there be any "best of" programming those two nights?
