Straddle & Re-Straddle

Updated yesterday

Straddling is a blind raise made before the hole cards are dealt, typically used to increase the pot size early in the hand.

  • Can only be posted by the player directly left of the big blind.

  • The straddle amount is double the big blind.

  • Requires at least 4 players at the table.

A Re-Straddle is only available if the ‘Under The Gun’ player has placed a Straddle. It acts as another blind and will be double the Straddle amount.

Straddling is only available on Ring Game tables (Hold’em and Omaha tabs)
