Warning: Long post. Summaries of 21 consecutive hands follow.
Yesterday I ran into a mega maniac with a luck box. I really need help in how to deal
with such an opponent.
Is he just betting randomly, or is there some method to his madness? How should I play against this? Im going to blind out eventually if I do nothing. There are two other players at the table doing nothing. Should I just keep folding and hope one of the other rocks tries to make a move? Should I just play my normal game?
