WE ARE MOVING SOON, We will be switcing forum software in the coming days. I am not sure of the exact time and date but sometime this week. I will do my best to make sure the disruption is as little as possible but the site could be down for a good hour for the move. If you want to know about the new forum sofware please visit this Discussion
Strateling?
I keep seing it in HSP but I don't get how it works.
Is it the guy on the button pays double/triple/however much the big blind, but then who acts first/what benefit does it give him?

You can't live straddle in a tournament, it would just be a blind raise and you wouldn't have the option to reraise if it isn't raised back to you.

If you straddle UTG, UTG+1 will act first and UTG will have option.
Technically, you can straddle from the button. The Mississippi straddle is the straddle from the button which means small blind will have to act first.
anyways uhmm thanks so you can straddle from UTG and button, canyou from anywhere else?
From behind?
And button straddle is so rare most people don't even know it exists..
Keyword in the defn is that it is a blind bet, i.e. it must be made before the player is dealt cards (or at least before they look at them).
Next someone can teach you about restraddling. Not it!
