A more typical PLO max straddle is 'pot', isn't it? We allow 10, 15 or 20 in both the 1/2 and 2/5 PLO games. Some rooms limit the 1/2 game to 15 and allow 20 at 2/5.
Tampa .. yes, this is a discussion that every poker room needs to have with both Dealers and Floors
Is a straddle ..
1) A PF Blind with min raise of 2x the straddle amount .. OR ..
2) A 'raise with option', thus lowering the min raise amount
So in a 1/2, bring 5 game .. when you straddle for 10 is the min raise to 15 (10-5=5 min raise) or 20 (2x the straddle)
The rules Nits say you can't have a 'Blind' for only one street, so it must be a 'raise with option' .. thus allowing them to min-raise their AA in NL for less!
It's been coming up more and more this year .. and the blank looks on staff faces are mounting up since they've not really discussed this before. GL
