Default Re: Playing against a MANIAC

I was just thinking.....if you always folded a hand from the SB, your loss with that hand from that position would be .5BB/hand.

So if you play it and it is a loser, but it's average loss winds up less than .5BB/hand, you would be making money by completing with it, or more specifically, you would be losing less with it than if you always folded it.

Is that correct?

Like JRZ said if you fold every hand in the SB you lose .25BB/hand which is why I labeled A2o as "break even". Every hand you fold from the BB costs you .50BB/hand which is why I don't mind calling a single raise with some marginal stuff.
