For the first time the other day I met a fellow 2+2er at the table. He recognized me from some old tournament picture, which is pretty cool.
This was a hand that came up later in the session. The maniac in the story is an odd chap that throws a lot of chips in when he likes his hand (which is often), and when he decides he dislikes it, he mucks it, usually out of turn or when it's checked to him, and often face up. He also seems to like saying "cap" because when it's three bets to him, he will often make it four even if he hasn't been the aggressor (although usually only does it postflop).
Anyway, he open raises UTG, everyone folds to me on the button and I 3-bet with 8c8h. Toulouse calls in the SB and Lautrec in the BB. BB is actually a decent player. Maniac just calls.
Flop comes 7d 3d 2h. Check, check, maniac bets, I raise, Toulouse calls, Lautrec calls, and maniac 3-bets. Everyone calls.
Turn is the Ks. Check, check, maniac bets, I raise, call, BB mucks QQ face up, maniac calls.
River is the Kc. Check, maniac bets, I call, SB folds.
He shows 7sTs and 88 are good. The dealer proceeds to give Lautrec and his QQ a hard time (although I think they were buddies).
