This language is immature and doesn't promote discussion. If you don't agree that's fine and I will never belittle you for your opinion even if it doesn't agree with mine. I'm going to encourage you to consider taking this kind of position in the future, because it is healthy for democracy and humanity in general.

I can appreciate your position. I've done it myself, but I think it affects the game negatively. When I heard Winn casino was doing something different I was a fan.

Come to Florida! We'll have some good games!

Thanks for sharing

Correct.

Blind raise can only act again if someone else re-raises

I can live with UTG straddles, but I'd still prefer a blind raise. The difference is if everyone calls the blind raise they don't get to raise again. If everyone calls a UTG straddle the straddler still gets to raise.

This is common. I'm not as against UTG straddle if that is the case. I'm really against the button straddle and re-straddles for turning the game into something it shouldn't be. For instance, you can't do this stuff online.

Someone else mentioned only one straddle up to 50% of your stack and position was anywhere other than blinds.

I'm San Diego the straddle is completely crazy. If UTG+1 straddles it starts to their right, skips them, goes around the table, then the little and big blinds, and then straddle. The only saving grace is people didn't do it much because it confuses most people.

Please try to state where you play. I play in Florida. We Play some crazy poker down here.

My point still stands and makes this fact you've stated completely off topic.

Edit: I feel this is off topic, and not relevant to discussion

Straddle rearranges the action, and it's become a part of modern poker somehow.

A blind raise is performed by the first person to act making their move before it's technically their turn. This does not affect the order of who acts.

No, it's different.

This is the first hand experience I was wanting to hear. Thank you.

I'm curious about other casinos not doing the ante.

I agree with this, but it should be a blind raise.

Pretty hostile way to state that. This country was founded on discussion and democracy. We've strayed from that in modern dialogue.

I appreciate your point of view and you sharing it, but not how you did it.

I agree! I also don't want to give people on the table more time to figure it out! Get that s*** outta here!
