Options trading - what the market doesn't offer

I casually trade options every now and then.

Just realized that all the maturity dates and strike increments are rather fixed. 

What if I want to buy an option at $12.25 strike that matures on Thursday?

Is this a big deal for options traders? Do you wish the market offered more options?

 

I believe CBOE has FLEX options that have custom expiry/strikes. You definitely need a broker who knows what he's doing to trade these though. There's no liquid market in these that I know of and you're much better off with the standard versions with a tight screen market.
