how to handle this kind of hands

I didn't know you can straddle in a online game. Especially with 8 players doing it you get a huge pot before any action., but maybe you mean something else. Anyway It's interesting how much bb the CO is raising with his 40bb stack.

GGPoker has a straddle feature.

When there are two or three straddles ahead of me every hand I just change tables.
If I really wanted to play NL 25 I can go to an NL 25 table, not play it at an NL 5 table.
I try to avoid people who straddle too much, but others seem to like it.

ok, I ususally defined the eight position as following:
UTG+1/UTG+2/MP/CO/BTN/SB/BB/STRADDLE
The level is with SB 0.1/ BB 0.2/ STRADDLE 0.4
CO with 16 and open to 1.2 , BTN call 1.2 with 40 ,hero is at SB with 40 .
So if hero have 99 or AQ ,is that better to call or sqz ? All players are with less hands with unknown figures , how you play it with 99 ,and how you play with AQ?

Wow I love the straddle as it is usually more dead money.

To each their own.

Yes, that is so true, however you're playing for stacks pretty much from the start.

I'm with you there -- however as abezdeck pointed out, with tons of dead money in the middle, the pot odds are very favourable.

Next question:
What hands would you like to play vs 3 straddles?

AA

87s

or perhaps you just want to see a flop and go from there?
