invulse 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Does anyones local casino allow them to run it twice if both players agree, or do live straddles on NL cash games? My casino wont allow any kind of deals between players, even if 2 of us agree on insurance or something of that sort. Link to post Share on other sites
FourFlusher 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 I highly doubt it...most players don't understand either, most dealers prolly don't...nothing but potential problems, why do it? Link to post Share on other sites
Pot Odds RAC 23 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 They allow a live straddle in Detroit. Link to post Share on other sites
FourFlusher 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Stradles play most everywhere, I think. It's nothing more than a blind raise. Link to post Share on other sites

It's nothing more than a blind raise.yeah at every casino i have played at stradles are ok. pluss they have let us make deals. i have never ran it twice but i have given ppl insurance and chopped the pot by odds. like if i have AA and the other guy has KK i take 80% of the pot he takes 20% stuff like that.

mx957 0 Posted August 28, 2006 Share Posted August 28, 2006 Stradles play most everywhere, I think. It's nothing more than a blind raise.Um, yeah that's not correct. Here in KC @ Harrah's you can blind raise but you cannot straddle. There is a difference.A raise in the dark is considered your action in the hand. Unless the hand is subsequently raised your action in the hand is complete.A live stradle on the other hand is not. You have in effect raised the blind levels but have not acted on the hand yet. If someone calls your blind when the action get's to you, you still have live action to raise the hand if you wish.However, Harrah's NKC has chosen not to allow live straddles.

Sometimes when I play the 1/2 NL at my local casino I want to stimulate some action because it becomes a limpfest so I try to "straddle" unfortunately they told me in NL games its just a blind raise and I dont get last act which sucks. They also wont let us make any kind of deals at the table, and when I asked the floor about it, he told me its like collusion and that is not allowed (which it is actually nothing like).

Generally speaking $5-$10 is the minimum for this. Link to post Share on other sites

I believe Ameristar as well, I am not sure.. The Isle has the juciest limit game IMO in KC. Link to post Share on other sites
