Very aggressive online 4-8 stud 4-handed game. I'm in seat 1. The boards of each player, including when they folded, are shown below:
Me: [ 4s Ts ] 8s Js Td 7h [As]
seat 2: [ x,x ] Jh 3h 4d 8d [x]
seat 7: [x,x ] Ah 6d 8h 7c [x]
seat 8: [ x,x ] 9s 7d (folds on 4th)
On 3rd street, I've got a three-flush. All but one spade are live, and I'm low. I bring it in and the next player, who's been playing wildly, raises. As usual. The next player reraises and the fourth player cold calls it all. I call the additional charges and the maniac-type in the 2 seat calls.
On 4th street, the ace bets out and the player in the eight seat folds. I call and Mr. Maniac raises it. The original bettor calls and I three-bet it. The maniac caps the action and we all see 5th.
On 5th street, the ace checks and I check. The maniac bets and we both call.
On 6th street, it's check, check, bet, call, call.
On 7th street, I make the flush with the ace of spades. The ace bets out and I call. Mr. Maniac raises and the ace reraises. I just don't think the maniac has me beat, and I'm not sure about the player with the ace, but I know I'm calling all bets either way. So I throw caution to the wind and pop it again, capping the action. The maniac and the player with the ace both call.
The maniac shows down a flush, jack high, which he caught on the river. Prior to that he also drawing to a flush, , with three hearts (9h Th Jh) as his starting hand. The ace had started with split aces and caught trip aces on the river.
I think there was a lot of over-playing on this hand, including by me.
------------------------
In the next hand, I'm in the one seat, the same maniac is still in the two seat, and new players is in the eight seat, 3 handed.
Below are the boards of each player, in order. Everyone went all the way to the end.
Me: [ 2d Ac] Ah 9s 7d Jc [ 7h ]
Maniac: [ X , X ] 4c 5s As Jd [ X ]
New player: [ X , X ] Js 3s 8d 7s [ X ]
On 3rd, the maniac brings it in for a raise with the 4c. The new guy calls and I raise. Maniac raises again and the new guy calls. I cap it and they both call.
On 4th, I bet and get raised. New guy cold calls and I reraise, both call.
On 5th, I bet and maniac raises again, new guy cold calls and I call with my unimproved aces.
On 6th, I bet and get raised again. The new guy once again cold calls two, and I call the extra one.
On 7th, I checked, maniac bet, new guy called and so did I.
Overplayed again?
The results are below. They astounded me when I saw what these two guys were playing so hard against my aces.
Me: [ 2d Ac] Ah 9s 7d Jc [ 7h ]
Maniac: [ 4h Jh ] 4c 5s As Jd [ Qd ]
New player: [ 9c 8h ] Js 3s 8d 7s [ Ad ]
I won both hands, but I think I was playing more like 10-20 or 15-30 than 4-8 and probably overplayed both.
Me: [ 4s Ts ] 8s Js Td 7h [As]
seat 2: [ x,x ] Jh 3h 4d 8d [x]
seat 7: [x,x ] Ah 6d 8h 7c [x]
seat 8: [ x,x ] 9s 7d (folds on 4th)
