As far as what hands, its a blind bet.....

Average roi on 5.50's Id say the average 5.50 player has an ROI of -20%
Ok. But what is a decent average ROI% in a $5.50? Like what is a sustainable ROI% at these stakes that I should shoot for?

And straddling is a poop move, just as I suspected.
Staddling is OK if you know how to adjust to the different structure better than the rest of the table. It also help to create more action, but it's very -ev unless the rest of the table is doing it. That's all I know on that.

The average ROI in a $5.50 is -10%, since the rake is 10%. I don't know how good you are, but 10% should be possible, go check out Taipan's guide to low buyin sitngos in the sitngo forum.
