Were you playing at the same table as me last night??? /images/graemlins/grin.gifThere were two wackos sitting with me that had the same averages. One guy was off his rocker, and the other seemed to know enough to cause problems. I would just call and hold on for the ride. They could have anything--you might be beat but you can't fold here.

I went from 50->15->105->70 at this table.

Its people like this that make me hate NL holdem at times. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Anyways, I would have played it the same as you did. BB 3-bet pre-flop, unless he likes to 3-bet with 4,3 and A,3, I dont see how he can have you beat. It would really suck if someone had A,Q tho.

But of course. I had a bad day, so it was AQ and Q7 this time.

It was a really strange time to play though - the 2/4 full games were very tight, but the 1/2 6-max were insanely loose (I found quite a few players with 80+ VPIP that day).

This isn't very maniacal. Just loose/normal really.

That is normal? Do you mean a 'normal' player who doesn't know what they are doing--or a 'normal' good player can have 70% VPIP and still be profitable at 6max??
