Someone explained to me what these were years ago but I have forgotten. Now I'm playin on ACR and I see they offer these options.
Can someone explain these to me? Thanks!

Nobody know eh? LOL!
Chop is when nobody calls preflop and it is down to the small blind and the big blind where they have the option to take back their blinds and the hand is void...I always do that unless there is a bad beat jackpot and you I have a bad beat possible hand. A straddle is where the person to the right of the big blind buys the big blind and posts double of the big blind.
excellent materials
there can be double straddle too. the straddler acts last pre-flop too.
reading through this some of you sound clueless and some know what your saying...but if you dont know what straddling or chopping is I think your in the wrong forum....lol
someday .. i will know what these poker terms are .. Hey ZAB, maybe there should be a " Poker Term Dictionary link" ??
WHoa, ACR allows straddling???? wow!
Thanks Nut29! :)
I always like to chop. Good luck all
I always like to chop unless it is a bad beat jackpot possible hand. Straddling is so stupid in my opinion.
the truth that they are terms that I never heard in my life
Person to the left of the BB, it is a blind bet with min. 2X. Hoping to discourage action, anyone with a strong hand in LP still has advantage. Its not common but on some tables that are tight and have a lot of limpers just coming in to see flops it has some advantages. IMO you paying more to play a hand still in bad position.Quote:
