Message: [QUOTE="bigjoker66, post: 1297869, member: 24816"] Last weekend I played in a $1-2 home game where they had a special $5 chip. If you had that chip it gave you the right to straddle from any position except the blinds. Kind of like a Mississippi straddle, except you could put whatever $ amount you wanted for the straddle (min $5). You have to win the chip to be able to use it. It was pretty cool and livened up the game quite a bit. Obviously the best position to take this option is the button. I'm curious what people think would be the best amount to bet here? Leave it at the minimum $5. Make it $8 which is the standard opening bet in this game? Make it more? When I had it I left it at the min $5, but am thinking it may be better to make it more. Opinions?
