UGGG!! Dang Maniac bites me again!!
 

PP 3/6, once again find myself at a table with a complete maniac. I mean raising preflop 80% of all hands and calling with the rest. Folding 1 in 20 hands. No exagerration. The problem- he was catching all sorts of crap. He would play j3 and get trip jacks, 64o and pull out two pair. It was relentless. I tried my damndest, tightened up, playing only premium hands, and still got stung for 200 bucks in an hour!

My question - How do you play against these guys, or should you just walk??? I mean, the whole "long run" theory is wearing thin!! [img]/forums/images/icons/mad.gif[/img]

Should you try going very loose and hope your luck is just better than his?? Seems like the wrong approach to me, but at this point, I will try anything!

Basically, I am looking for advice on how to play against VERY lucky maniacs!!

Thanks!

Patience, grasshopper. His luck will fade away - although maybe not today.

If you are tilting, leave. Period.

I know that you know the answer.

Keep playing well, and have faith that you'll get the money eventually. What else can you do?
