So, I'm at Canterbury Park for a 24 hour session and at around 1am a guy comes to our table and starts acting like a total nimrod. He kept saying he was drunk, which may or may not have been true (plus not only is he wearing sunglasses, he is wearing them upside down). On his third hand, on the river he pushes in his entire stack of chips and says "I am all in". "Sir, are you betting?", "I have the nuts, so I am all in". A few people at the table start yelling at him and the floor is called. He backs off, but is obnoxious the entire time. A few hands later at showdown he threw his cards down and yelled "Nuts" and showed T-high when called by 2 others. A little later (30 min) he accuses 2 people of colluding. (I had been at the table for 6 hours, clearly these 2 alleged colluders weren't colluding and didn't even know each other.)
I watch him limp with 48o and win a monster pot by making a retarded straight. He live straddles and wins another monster with A9s.

My question is this: Does is make sense to act like a wild man and advertise a few crummy hands in order to get the table to think you don't know what you are doing? Also, is this a good way to tilt the table? How do you deal with this guy? How do you play against him? One of the dealers told us that he thinks he is a pretty solid player. Can anyone who plays 48o be solid? Is this guy a genius or just a prick who should be beaten to death? He did win about 30BB in the hour or so that he was there, and then moved to 8/16, where he was much more subdued.


My limited experience (especially at this table), tells me that the majority of 6/12 players at CP don't need to be advertised to. They are easy prey who can be beaten by TAG play. Do I need to add advertising to my list of moves?
