makes the game fun, looser, although in probs 80% of the games 1knl and below unnecessary and -EV.

When playing .5/1 when people open to 7, I'm not sure a straddle matters!

Most of those who straddle at DTD don't know why they do it. Most don't raise their option when it comes back round, so it seems pointless to me if they're going to do that every time.

I think for a capable player in a live game, straddles are +EV. Firstly, it puts people out of their comfort zone in terms of pot sizes etc, but it also gives you alot of spots to squeeze ATC when its 80% getting through.
I think it is overused though, alot of bad players do it because they perceive it to be the cool thing to do

Sick rubs jamie. Yeh I shouldve stressed, straddling +ev if used properly, most don't. It used to be very profitable to straddle in certain deep 50/1games at gala, but not in others. its very dependant on the other players in the game, as well as how deep the game is.

Define, "using a straddle properly" is there any difference between using a straddle and using your big blind?
Do people actually think it is +EV to straddle in a 9max game? how about short handed?
Sleeper straddles should 100% be allowed imo, and missisipi stradles, or being allowed to straddle your button is the nuts

Makes the game looser.
+ev for good loose players when deep
Very -ev if you're the only one doing it. Only straddle if it's agreed that the whole table will IMO.
