Biggest Maniac I've Seen

Usually when I see otherwise good players making mistakes against maniacs is doing things like capping turn and river with a straight when there's a 3flush on board, 3 betting middle pair, etc. Usually they take the manaic's play personally and show they won't be pushed around and eventually run into his nuts after overplaying marginal hands.

against a true maniac, you should be capping a straight on a nonpaired 3flush board you win 75+% of the time

Turn and River? Where do you get this 75% from?

I don't want to post any hands from this session - I know I played him poorly!! [img]/images/graemlins/shocked.gif[/img] However, he was hitting some crazy 2 pair hands and other chit. He was like the king of reverse domination.

It's funny though because I enjoyed lagging it up with him [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Actually, I enjoyed myself so much I didn't even mind walking away down BB's - is this a sign I should join 2+2 tables?! You couldn't help but try to keep up with him when you see him capping the turn and river with a 7 high!

Some of this was when the table was shorthanded, but it really didn't change when the table filled up. The worst part was he was running the table over. He had me yelling and then took off with my loot! [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I had one today that tilted me for a hand or two when he rivered me. Thankfully I made money on the tilt [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

BB is the wacko.

That turn call I made was so bad (flop play isn’t much better and I should have raised PF too. Man I missed alot on this hand), and I was going to call the river too.[img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] He showed 6-high. Tilt cured.
