Playing in Other Non-Standard Games Introduction
First however, let's take a moment to quantify what may be called a "standard game." Defining this more clearly, a standard game is one of standard structure (blinds and bet sizes), which is played moderately tight, and includes perhaps two or three fairly good players. Obviously, this is not always the case. Sometimes the game may be wild; sometimes it may be extremely tight. In addition, someone may voluntarily put up an extra large blind — known as a straddle — so that he can "gamble." Finally, the structure may be "spread limit," where bets can be any amount between (and including) two specified limits.
