Straddling. Whats the point?

If you have cards that you want to raise with UTG, then do more than minraise. You don't really want to get repopped since you are out of position, and no longer the agressor. If you are gonna open raise then go 3 or 4xbb.

The min raise UTG MIGHT work if the table is very tight, but not often.
