I recently learned to love the UTG straddle in a full ring game, it makes people play 1-crazy, and 2-even worse than usual. Here’s a great example: me and the other straddle instigator (TAG and tough when sober, LAG and tough when drinking, he’s the latter at this early hour in the morning) agree that if it’s folded to one of us on the others straddle then he will blind raise. We’re each in the cutoff for the others straddle, so this is hardly a stretch, my raising range is probably around 65% under these circumstances, and his is already 100%.
My straddle, folds to the cutoff who blind raises, button and SB fold, and BB calls…
Ever since then I try to get a round of straddles going whenever I can
