Just having a disagreement with a friend so lets get some opinions:

Loose cash game - everyone has between £200 and £1k.   Our stack is £300.   Our image is agressive.  We have history with one opponent in the hand where we check raised him with air and showed when he folded.

Blinds are £1/£2 and we post straddle for £5.

Mid position makes in £15 and there are 2 callers.

We have three clubs on the straddle.

Question - is putting in the extra £10 generally positive or negative EV in this scenario?  Assume straddle player is competent and won't do anything stupid with one pair.

How predicatable and tiresome.  Symptomatic of this forum - no reasoning, just a snide comment.  FWIW I was the person advocating always folding here, but this response is typical of the UK poker scene which has a healthy population of socially inept online geeks.  The game is at the Empire in London if you want to know.  Why don't you go along - I'm sure you'll "crush" it.

The comment wasnt put across very well obv, but this really is a bit of a weird thread. You might have awesome post skills but I think its pretty obvious that this is a -EV spot.

OOP to a raiser with a garbage hand, seems like a trivial fold?

Are you straddling often in this game?  Do you usually defend your straddle, and do you think straddling in the game is +EV for you?
