Hi Boltsfan,

These two guys are incredibly loose, but their PF raise numbers are actually quite passive for shorthanded play. It looks to me as if you were three-handed with two extremely loose passive players, which is is the kind of thing that tight-aggressive shorthanded players have wet dreams about.

It is entirely possible that they opened up post-flop and became true maniacs, but this is not something to be too worried about. With both these players raising under 10% of their hands, you need to be the one who takes control here. Your PF raise should be above 20% and you should be getting cheap flops all the time out of the blinds thanks to their PF passiveness.

If you could post some Post-Flop Aggression numbers we could go into that... but with the maniacs it's generally about playing big cards and always seeing showdowns with them... Dominate them with your big hands. Also you could try posting this in the Heads Up and ShortHanded Forum, I think it would get the best response there.
