How to Straddle
The Texas Hold’em Straddle function is one of Natural8’s fun and innovative features, designed to add more thrills, 3️⃣ twists and turns to an already-exciting poker hand. But what does straddle mean in poker?
Traditionally, the Straddle is a bet 3️⃣ that can be played by the player immediately to the left of the Big Blind. Usually, a player choosing to 3️⃣ straddle can bet double the Big Blind before the hole cards are dealt, so it’s basically a blind raise before 3️⃣ the players get their cards. This can lead to some big pots and dramatically alter the outcome of the hand.
At 3️⃣ Natural8, we like to go about things a little differently. Now, you can post a straddle bet from any position 3️⃣ on the table before the hole cards are dealt. Once the straddle amount is announced, players are given a limited 3️⃣ amount of time to post another straddle bet or even go all-in (this is called the “No-Look All-In”).
Needless to say, 3️⃣ games featuring frequent straddle bets are particularly thrilling. The bigger pots add to the tension, and when you win you 3️⃣ can win big! You can catch your competition off-guard, and their reaction to your straddle bet can give you a 3️⃣ lot of information, like whether they’re following a tight or loose strategy.
