...and hence why I no longer allow straddles when I host a cash game. If I want to play 1/2 then I'll just make that the stakes. I like .25/.50. Plenty of action to keep me interested and not a huge dump on the budget when I have a bad game.I like 0.25/0.50 because it is low enough to get players to sit down, and then I can effectively make it play more like a 0.50/1.00 or even 1/2 by getting everyone to straddle, double straddle, quadruple straddle, etc. Ask @Jeevansluck or @Frank, I definitely can get the action going!
I don't worry too much as I know the players can afford it and have lost my share on bad nights (you have to give action to get action).
