At first it appears like they are just maniacs but when one guy raises and 3 people in between call then the other guy raises 2,8off trapping the people in between then his buddy raises them again and the guy with 2,8 folds on the flop. I think that is shady. That went on every time i played there. The 2,8 raiser was not a bad player or dumb either so the only way that could have been profitable for him was if they were sharing a roll.

I take it this was 4-8 or lower? This can be common in most smaller rooms. Wait 'til they play this way blind. What would be shady is the guy with 82os playing and jamming to the river, then folding for 1 bet.

Another thing was the last night i played there i found out half of them were props, and on top of that there friends and family would come and play and they would do that trapping shat preflop then start a raising war between them on the flop and when the people who got trapped preflop would fold they would just check to the river.

Props and friends/family doesn't always mean much. I used to play in a room just like this. (sonny's in Fed way) Easy, you play like it's a maniac game.

Im not too experienced in these matters and i was real naive to it at the time but my boss who played there with me who has several years of casino experience pointed it out to me

I know plenty of people with casino experience who don't understand poker but think they do. Including dealers and floor people. Some thought the 3-6 table over last x-mas at the 2+2 meeting were cheating. I actually took the time to talk to the dealer about it and let them know what was happening. It took awhile to finally smooth it over a bit. Which is common when you see an overaggressive, multi-maniacal table.

The games you watch out for are the hand held games. Which are dying out, for the most part.
