Live Cash Game Rules Questions / Re: Forward motion, spilling out chips and straddle
« Last post by Dave Miller on August 15, 2023, 02:45:45 PM »I agree that the dribble bet is open to interpretation and probably should be addressed at the next TDA meeting.
I’ve never seen a straddle in a limit game. I would assume that they are limited to the amount of a normal preflop raise, but giving person the right to re-raise.
Straddles are usually* double. Multiple straddles just keep doubling. There’s a video out there of a high stakes 5/10 game where it was straddled five times, all the way up to $320.
No matter how many straddles, the first raise is always the amount of the last straddle, essentially another double. But the min-reraise is always the amount of the raise, not doubled again.
So in that high stakes game, a min-raise is another $320 to take it up to $640. Another min-raise of $320 will take it up to $960. Post flop, the minimum bet would be back to $10.
*Usually: I forget where, but I once played a 1/2 game where a straddle was $5. But that was more to reduce the requirement for change, and not slow down the game.
Also note that many jurisdictions limit the number of straddles. Some don’t allow them at all.
