First not all of LA is 5 max. Coushata has been 7 and GN went to 6 right before Delta and suspect they are still there now.
As to the whole Btn straddle debate, I am not at all a fan. But in this case at the specific table I was at it did not appear to kill the game. Had 3 of the 6 regularly straddl8ng the btn and when they were not button, one or two would utg straddle. Two peo0le including me appeared to adjust but that adjustment was to tighten up yes both also increased aggression. Plus these btn straddlers were frequently too frequently checking their option. The sixth was incredibly loose Paige and the btn straddle did not change her style. She ran like God against them. Went from less than 15BB to over 250BB in under an hour. So yes a btn straddle can and often will nit up a table it wasn’t the case this particular time.
