Default Re: Strategy for a low-stakes NL one-table tournament?

Hiya CCC,

One or two maniacs are fine. A table full of them will yield wildly unpredictable results, even when played with skill. You can expect a huge variance and wide bankroll swings playing in maniac games of this sort, and while the more skillful player will come out ahead in the long run, there's a high risk of ruin along the way.

Because he said he had bankroll worries about this kind of game, I think it'd be better to bow out of them. Yes, over 100 or 500 or 1000 tourneys, he'll clean up vs. this kind of player. But he'll need a much larger bankroll to absorb the swings.

If I had an unlimited bankroll, heck yes, sign me up. I'll hang around for the long haul, and it'll be a nice haul. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
