It can be difficult to remember, but there are really just two important concepts to adjusting to straddle games.
When someone straddles under the gun the stacks have basically been cut in half, so if you’re used to playing 100 big blind poker you need to adjust to playing 50 big blind poker when the straddle is on.
Quick poker tip: Study short stack poker play!
The other important tip to remember is regarding raising from a later position, you want to play a little tighter as there is now one other poker hand you have to get your raise through.
Like Phil says, essentially you want to study short stacked poker play and tighten up in late position.
If you’re building huge chip stacks already but still looking for how to improve at pot limit omaha, no limit hold ‘em, or poker in general, Phil Galfond is here to teach you how to think like a professional poker player.

Phil buddy giving away All the straddling Secrets, can you just hold a few back, I can literally take over the entire game by straddling and then reraising myself
A straddle is basically Utg announcing a raise for x2 without looking at his cards, there is no added benefit to it, right?
