How do you play against mega maniac?
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? A break down of his play: Hand #1 Villain opens UTG+1 for 275 Middle position raises all in Villain calls Flop Jh, 3h, 5c Turn 6s River 3c Villain shows 5s, Ts two pairs fives and threes MP shows Ac, Kd a pair of threes Hand #2 Villain limps UTG Two limpers, SB completes, BB checks Flop As, 5c, Ah Min bet, call, Villain raises 325 Folds around to caller who raises 590 Villain calls Turn 9h Caller pushes (165) Villain calls River Jh Caller shows Ad, 7h three of a kind, aces Villain shows 6s, 5h two pair aces and fives Hand #3 UTG+1 limps MP calls SB completes Villain (BB) raises 235 Folds to SB who calls Flop 2h, Kc, 7c SB bets 575 Villain folds Hand #4 (3) limpers Villain (SB) raises 315 BB calls Limpers fold Flop 6s, Jd, Ts BB bets 250 Villain calls (all in) Turn 7h River As BB shows Qh, 9h high card ace Villain shows 7s, Kh a pair of sevens Hand #5 One limper Villain raises (button) 275 Folds around Hand #6 One limper Villain raises 225 Folds around Hand #7 UTG limps Villain raises 175 UTG raises 585 Villain calls Flop 8c, Qh, 3h UTG pushes Villain calls Turn 5h River 9c UTG shows As, Ks high card Ace Villain shows Qd, 4s a pair of queens Hand #8 Villain opens for 225 One caller One push Villain calls Caller calls (three all in) Flop As, 7c, Td Turn 3s River 9s Villain shows Kh, 5c high card Ace Caller shows Ah, Ts two pair, aces and tens Pusher shows Qc, Qh a pair of queens Hand #9 Villain limps One raise to 150 Short stack calls (all in for 50) Villain pushes (1250) Raiser calls (610) Flop Th, 3s, 3d Turn Kd River 8h Raiser shows 9h, 9c two pairs, nines and threes Short stack shows 3h, Ac three of a kind, threes Villain shows Kh, 3c a full house, threes full of kings Hand #10 Villain raises 500 All fold Hand #11 Villain raises 145 all fold Hand #12 Folded to Villain who is SB and completes for 15 BB checks Flop 6c, Jc, 7c Checks Turn 4h Checks River 6d Checks Villain shows 2d, 8s a pair of sixes BB shows Qc, 8h a pair of sixes with queen kicker Hand #13 Villain limps hand Is checked through river Flop 4d, 6c, 4s Turn Th River 2s Villain bets 55 Folded around Hand #14 (Hero gets involved for the first time) Hero is BB with 9d Qc Villain limps SB completes BB checks Flop Qs, 3d, Ac All check Turn Js Checked to Villain who bets 175 Hero doesnt like the Ace on the board or the confusing play of Villain so he folds SB folds Hand #15 Villain limps Flop Kd, 2d, 8c Villain bets 175 All fold Hand #16 Villain limps MP limps SB completes BB checks Flop Qh, Ts, 9h One min bet Villain calls MP raises 300 Villain pushes 2305 All fold Hand #17 Folded to villain in BB Hand #18 Hero is UTG+1 with As Qd Hero limps Villain (SB) calls BB checks Flop 9s, 7s, Ts Checked around Turn Jh Villain bets 700 All fold Hand #19 Villain pushes all fold Hand #20 Villain limps, SB calls, BB checks Flop 8c, Ah, 4d 2 checks Villain raises 275 All fold Hand #21 Villain limps MP limps SB folds BB checks Flop 2c, Kc, 9s Villain bets 175 MP calls for 75 (all in) BB folds Turn Js River Jh Villain shows 5c, 8h a pair of jacks MP shows Qc, Th a straight, nine to king Hand #22 Villain limps SB completes BB checks Flop 7d, Ah, 3s BB min bets Villain FOLDS <-- This hand must really suck ass Hand #23 Dealt to Hero Tc Th Folded to hero who limps SB completes Villain (BB) raises to 1450 Hero ??? |

Re: How do you play against mega maniac?
So don't do anything. Play back at him. Raise and reraise. Call down with just second pair. Bet out with As on all spade flop. And make that easy TT call.

Re: How do you play against mega maniac?
I have to admit, I was threatened by his luck.
So, you say I should be pushing it back in his face, huh? |

Re: How do you play against mega maniac?
Without preflop stacks etc. there is no way oto comment on any of these hands.
In generaal, you loosen raising standards when you have position and isolate. |

There's no way to become luckier, otherwise we'd all know it by now. If you've probably got the best hand, don't fold. If you let maniac boss you around, you're playing right into his hand. |

Re: How do you play against mega maniac?
I left out the stacks to shorten the post a bit.
This is the first 20+ hands of the tourney. By the end Villain is over 2k and nobody else has much of anything. |
