Encouraging a Maniac
Playing this weekend at the casino. There’s a maniac at the table, Blind raising , live straddling, I am talking every hand every time. When there in, there in for a raise.
While this person is on a blind raise and the action goes to them. I tell them to 3 bet blind [since someone made the raise (or call as it were) first] before the maniac looks at there cards, I have not looked at mine most haven't around the rest of the way. Is this against the rules? I feel I am encouraging free money to give a little more if they have fun playing every hand I want to encourage this not prevent it. Am I wrong? Mind you it's a bigger limit game and they just ran down 3 of the better players, one of which got pretty mad at me for telling her to 3 bet. PS they know I have no Idea who the maniac is so there was no collusion |

Re: Encouraging a Maniac
On the flop you have a good draw.
Maniac bets, you call, super-rock raises behind you. Back to maniac and someone not it the pot says "Raise again". Are you happy? |

If there is a maniac live straddling, and I'm on his left, I will occasionally restraddle.

It's wrong to give another player any sort of playing advice about the current hand, regardless of your intentions.

Re: Encouraging a Maniac
no it was more really a joke, like "Why not 3 bet it?" and I laughed while I said it..the one guy apparently didn't laugh.
