WSOP 2024 Live Action Rules
#11. A live straddle bet is allowed in all blind games. The player who posts the straddle has the last action for the first round of betting and is allowed to raise. The amount of the straddle is twice the big blind unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise noted on a game placard, a player can straddle from either under the gun or from the button, with the button having precedence. The minimum allowed raise after the straddle is three times the big blind. Unless indicated on the game placard, a mandatory straddle will not be enforced, even if every player at the table agrees; a new player will not be forced to straddle. The button straddle is not allowed in limit games.
