Default Re: 5 Card Draw Maniac

As for not seeing many draw maniacs online, I have no idea what you are talking about, they are everywhere.

No doubt. My favorite was the player from whom I took $80 from in 15 minutes playing 1/2 heads-up at Paradise. Finally, after I won with a pair of 6s, he left, saying something in the chat bar about "you're too good for me."

Favorite heads-up/maniac move: Smooth calling his raise in the blinds with 2 pair predraw, drawing one and betting out after the draw when they draw 3. Too often (and they rarely realize what you're doing until it's too late), they think you're on the draw and bluffing. But even if they improve to a better hand (trips to your aces up, for example), they won't raise because they fear you've made a pat hand. Maniacs shrivel in the face of controlled aggression.

Sorry for the thread hijack. Carry on.
