Question:    What is ‘Straddle Bet’?

Answer:    Players in the limit Hold’em poker and other flop games in online casinos are frequently allowed to make the straddle bet. In this form of betting, if you are following the big blind, then you can raise before the cards are dealt. Players who gamble after you must either call the raise themselves or fold. Also, in straddle bets, the players behind the straddle can also post a straddle by raising again until the maximum number of bets are reached.
