I'd bet $1K certainly, or in terms of what I suspect OP's win rate at 1/3 is, 500 hours.

I don't have any maths on it but IME people at 2/3 don't treat a straddle as shortening the stacks particularly. Like for example, the $6 straddle is reasonably common in my room but when people attack the straddle, they often raise to $15 or $20, which is pretty much what they would be open raising with anyway. If someone straddles to $15, and gets 2 callers, players don't go "OK now I'm 30bb deep" and ship AKo when sitting on $450.
EDIT
If people did treat the straddle exactly like a large BB, then it would indeed shorten the effective stacks as advertised. It's just that they don't, so it doesn't. What it does do, is tend to fatten the pot and create more action.
