I've been playing the daily freerolls at Paradise, and a lot of maniacs are now playing it. You see them go all-in on 30-40% of hands, and this is when the blinds are 10-20 (everyone starts with 1500 chips). How do you play against them?
Twice today, I beat them to the bit with all-in with TT. Both times they called with one overcard and offsuit, hitting the overcard each time, busting me. I guess my question is, should I just fold everything but KK and AA in the first 45 minutes of the tourney, letting these players bust out, or did I make the right play?
If there is a flop, they will agressively bet every flop, and considering my only 12% chance of hitting a set on the flop, I will likely be forced to fold, since there will likely be one or more overcards.
If you play tight early, how can you build a stack, as people always say? After 50 hands it basically becomes all-in or fold as blinds are already 100-200.
