Re: Best strategy against a bluffing maniac?
vs Bluffing Tricky Maniac I turn into their worst nightmare, a calling station.
You have a reasonable hand call down. Don't get into a raising war with him unless you have a strong hand. Just call down, you will actually make more money that way.
I had a similar guy once that bluffed EVERY HAND. I lose a few to him when he was legit but 3/4 of the time he bluffed I had him. In 30 mins I made $200 just from this guy bluffing at 3/6 SH. 7h 8h 2c Jd 2h and I hold 55 I call down. AK Ace high on a 23527 board I call down. 88 on a KQ427 board I call down. Normally I play differently but guys like this just dont stop so dont guess their hand and call down with hands that can win showdowns.
Now if the board came T987 and 3 spades and I had a pair of 33s. I would probably fold there. Thats too much. Or a 4 spade board with 2-3 overcards and me no spade.
