I was watching High Stakes Poker a couple minutes ago and saw them using a straddle. My question is can this be done playing online poker?

If the players at the table all agreed to it, then they could do it right? I mean they wouldn't need help from the online card room would they?

One of those "shady" sites, Oddsmaker, used to have straddle in their software but I just checked today and it's gone. I had forgotten I still had $200 on there from the original $50 they gave me to sign up.

I only saw it used a few times, it seems interesting to get a tight table gambling some.

I know I saw that expression on a players chair just recently, but I don't remember where. I didn't want to look dumb by asking what the hell it met...so thanks for the explanation;)

We recently started putting straddles on in my home game. Although it raises the price to play, it really ignites action at the table and provides for some large pots.
