At the PBKC? Hardly. I'm there about 5 nights per week and
rarely ever do I see a dealer enforce the rule. Even had a discussion at the table yesterday about this. The other players didn't even know the rule existed, while the dealer admitted that neither he nor the others actually enforce it.
It shouldn't be up to the dealer or the other players to ensure that a player hasn't seen his hole card or pertinent behavior before straddling. Once a few cards are pitched, the straddle should be denied.
Don't even get me started on the button getting his first hole card and then straddling...
