Poker-gods have a sense of irony and humour
I checked the party 3/6 and saw a table with crazy high average pot so I promptly put myself on the waiting list. I think average was like $80 or so, +13BB.
I opened up the table and after one hand I had the maniac spotted. This was a maniac in true essense. He would try to raise and cap at every oportunity and with any two cards. PFR turnd up to +80% since whenever he limped in someone tried an isolation raise that he imediatetly 3-betted or capped if someone else had re-raised. First hand is just to give the general idea: Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (9 handed) Preflop: Hero is SB with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">MP2 <font color="purple">(MANIAC!)</font> raises</font>, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, BB calls, <font color="CC3333">MP2 <font color="purple">(MANIAC!)</font> caps</font>, MP3 calls, Button calls, Hero calls, BB calls. Flop: (20 SB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(5 players)</font> Hero checks, BB checks, MANIAC! checks, MP3 checks, <font color="CC3333">Button bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero raises</font>, BB folds, <font color="CC3333">MANIAC! 3-bets</font>, MP3 folds, Button calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero caps</font>, MANIAC! calls, Button calls. Turn: (16 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MANIAC! raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, MANIAC! calls, Button calls. River: (25 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="red"> I miss this riverbet and chicken out here</font> MANIAC! checks, Button checks. Final Pot: 25 BB Results in white below: <font color="#777777"> MANIAC! has 3c Tc (one pair, threes). <font color="red">Better hand than average for him, a pair! </font> Button has Jc Kc (one pair, kings). Hero has Ad Ks (one pair, kings). Outcome: Hero wins 25 BB. </font> Here is the gem! Dont you think the irony here is apealing? Remember maniac has preflop raise of +80%! Maniac has dished out several badbeats and lasted quite long. Party Poker 3/6 Hold'em (10 handed) Preflop: Hero is BB with 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]. UTG folds, UTG+1 folds, UTG+2 folds, MP1 folds, <font color="CC3333">MP2 <font color="purple">(MANIAC!)</font> raises</font>, MP3 calls, CO folds, Button folds, SB folds, Hero calls. <font color="blue"> I make an ultra loose call here since I am closing the action. </font> Flop: (6.33 SB) 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> Hero checks, MANIAC! checks, MP3 checks. Turn: (3.16 BB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(3 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MANIAC! raises</font>, MP3 folds, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MANIAC! caps</font>, Hero calls. River: (11.16 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="blue">(2 players)</font> <font color="CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MANIAC! raises</font>, <font color="CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="CC3333">MANIAC! caps</font>, Hero calls. <font color="blue"> How do you like my line? Maniacs action has been about the same in most hands I have seen so far. </font> Final Pot: 19.16 BB Results included for laughs. Results in white below: <font color="white"> Hero has 5h 8d (three of a kind, fives). MANIAC! has Kh Ks (two pair, kings and fives). Outcome: Hero wins 19.16 BB. </font> This was the gem of the day and good for a laugh for me.I hope you will enjoy it in the same sense I did. |

Re: Poker-gods have a sense of irony and humour
In your hand history, you have the maniac raising on hand two. But either way, it is pretty ironic.
