Alright, i've been running into a rash of these guys at the 25 nl tables. Their standard opening raise is 8-12x bb instead of 4x. Basically they are turning the table into the old 50bb tables instead of the 100bb tables. A raise to 2 or 3 does not necessarily mean better than average opening hands, it seems to generally mean worse. I don't have many hands at the table but villain has raised to 2 or 3 every single time he's raised. Thoughts?

I think its fine.

A lot of these maniacs will go allin with AJ -&gt; AK, 88-JJ which you have beat. Hell, I've seen some of these idiots re-raise me allin with 22.

No way you can fold that considering he has raised a whole bunch of pots in a row.

I think his looseness dictates the play here rather than the size of his raises. Whats the stats?

I saw all in with 4 5o yesterday, I had AA thats why I got to see it.

Looks good. I don't think players here are folding AK, AQ, or 88+.
Edit: I also saw a preflop 3bet all-in w/ J8 yesterday at 100NL and the guy flopped a straight flush and was lauded for his brilliant play /images/graemlins/grin.gif

Does this hand really need discussion?

i love these guys. Biggest pot i've ever won was from one of them, he somehow managed to get his 180BB stack in preflop with 44. Your queens are a monster here.

I don't play Party because it's too aggressive. Even idiots can be dealt AA or suck out against yours. Flame away.
