This question for players that play live, since you can't straddle with online poker.
Straddling can loosen up your image at the table, and if you hit a big hand on your straddle, you may be able to wheel some players in for a bigger pot.

When you play cash games how often do you straddle?

I don't straddle by default. I always make sure that I thoroughly read the table to detect if it is passive before I straddle. I would rather good starting hands in position than to straddle blindly. The risk is not what I can actually withstand.
