In Texas Hold-em, a straddle is somewhat like a blind. However, any player can straddle. The player put his straddle into the pot before the cards are dealt, just as with the blinds. In other words, the player is blindly putting money into the pot. The other players, if they want to play their hand, will have to call the amount of the straddle, and the player who straddles will get another action before the turn is dealt. Most of the rules that apply to a blind apply to a straddle, except for the fact that it is not required.

What does it mean to make a straddle bet?
== == It refers to betting. The following information is taken from a site on poker terms. Straddle bets A straddle bet is an optional (voluntary) blind bet made by a player before receiving his cards. Straddles are only used in games played with blind structures. Straddles are normally not permitted in tournament formats. The player immediately to the left of the big blind may place a live straddle blind bet. The straddle must be a raise over the big blind. A straddle is a live bet; the player placing the straddle effectively becomes the "bigger blind". Action begins with the player to the left of the straddle. If action returns to the straddle without a raise, the straddle has the option to raise. The player to the left of a live straddle may re-straddle by placing a blind bet raising the original straddle. A Mississippi straddle buys last action before the flop. House rules permitting Mississippi straddles are common in the southern United States. Usually, a Mississippi straddle can be made from any position, although some house rules only permit the button or the player to the right of the button to place a Mississippi straddle. Like a live straddle, a Mississippi straddle must be at least the minimum raise. Action begins with the player to the left of the straddle. If, for example (in a game with $10-$25 blinds), the button puts a live $50 on it, the first player to act would be the small blind, followed by the big blind, and so on. If action gets back to the straddle with no raise, the straddle has the option of raising. The player to the right of a Mississippi straddle may re-straddle by placing a blind bet raising the original straddle. A sleeper is a blind raise placed from any position at the table other than under the gun.
