I love that your software supports a straddel UTG, but I would also like an option for Button Straddel that would be configured as such:
[ x ] UTG Straddel
[ x ] Button Straddel
Straddel Priority:
( o ) UTG ( ) Button
Button Straddel

Re: Button Straddel
Button straddle gives the button player too much of an advantage, IMO.

Re: Button Straddel
If the seat to your right is empty you can't straddle.....
This feels like a bug

I don't think adding it to the software is that big of a deal but it's definitely more standard than one might think.
If everyone straddles on the button, there is no advantage.

Re: Button Straddel
agreed. we don't use button straddle either because of the advantage it confers, but it is fairly common. Don't see why it can't be an option for site owners to implement. Also for us we play a blind on the button only during our live PLO games, which I'm assuming button straddle option functionality would allow us to implement here.

Re: Button Straddel
re, the "advantage" argument - a live UTG straddle is a DISADVANTAGE in a vacuum so it's really no different than a button straddle. If everyone agrees to live UTG straddle then the disadvantage disappears...rundmc wrote:agreed. we don't use button straddle either because of the advantage it confers, but it is fairly common.
