Full explanation
The Mississippi straddle is a live-game blind posted from the button.
Explanation. Unlike standard straddles to the left of big blind, the “Mississippi” allows the button to post a live blind—acting last preflop and first postflop. It raises stakes and adds positional nuance. Understanding this variant helps adapt to live casino house rules where such straddles exist.
