UTG Straddle – Podcast S8E19

Straddles used to be restricted to a fun element of live play, but an increasing number of online #poker sites have now added them to their tables. This “third blind” has a profound effect on preflop strategy, both on the straddle itself and from the other positions at the table.

 

In this podcast episode, we look at a common online 6-max format with a 2bb UTG straddle and 0.1bb ante. The straddle is intrinsically unprofitable, but the information presented here will allow to minimize your losses from all three blinds, while maximizing your advantage elsewhere.
