Straddle
When a player decides or says he is going to 'straddle' in a poker game, he is putting in twice the big blind before the cards are dealt. Usually, it is the player to the left of the big blind who straddles. It is basically a raise in the dark, and all players following must now call or raise the amount of the straddle bet.
