Informative video. Glad you are making these "beginner" videos, hopefully helps the new players. In my experience I like it when others are straddling, as you stated, they are playing blind, but we still get to look at our cards. However a big stack can straddle, which can sometimes be daunting to the smaller stacks at the table....Its another "tool" in your toolbox. Keep up the good work!
Straddling has got to be the most aggravating part of cash game poker. If you wanna get more chips flying widen your 3-bet range and your BB calling range. That being said UTG straddles sure. People who button straddle can go fly a kite
@@coloruppoker from a theory standpoint straddling is always a -EV move. I personally only do it if I’m up big in a game, like 2 or more buy-ins and I’m giving the table action
I could never wrap my head around straddling. Mainly because because all my buddies trying to explain it to me were usually stoned or drunk.
Same. This video honestly beats around the bush quite a bit. The main takeaway is that it’s basically just a third blind, a bigger blind
Getting into poker from Craps just like you. These are exactly the type of videos I need, thank you!
Alright, we’re doing this together than!

Nice that the GSR is doing these videos with you!! If I ever get to Reno, (next year Yofest perhaps), I'll be sure to give them my action!!
It certainly would be helpful if they delt the first two cards because that in and of itself is confusing in the explanation
Cept if straddle is $5, its a $3 raise of bb, so min raise should be to $8, not $10.

I’m trying to learn the advantages and disadvantages. I just don’t get it yet

Why do you enforce rules for straddle? Can't you just bet without looking at your cards and it's the same thing?
This is great information and I'm glad GSR does the button straddle the right way.
I’ll have to trust you on them doing straddle “the right way”
This was perfect. Thank you.
i hate that in 1/2 the straddle goes to 5
You really have a channel about dolls?
