Woooo some REAL LIVE B&M hands
Here's a rundown of my B&M session today.
I sit down 8/16 Bay101 with 400 behind. 3rd hand in: I hold J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] in MP1 limp, limp, I raise, cold call, cold call, two limpers call. Flop comes 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] check, check, I bet, fold, button calls, fold, fold turn comes 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I bet, he thinks for a while and raises, I fold after thinking for a while. He shows 23o no diamond and takes down a reasonably sized pot. I laugh and said, "you had me." Labeled him maniac. FOr the next few hands, he proceeded to raise with any two. A few hands later, same orbit, i hold A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in the BB. Preflop folded to maniac who raises, folded to me and I call. Flop comes J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I check he bets I call Turn: Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] I check he bets I fold A few orbits. Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] in MP2 3 limpers, I call, 2 callers, maniac in BB raises, all call Flop comes 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] Maniac bets, all fold to me, I call Turn: 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Maniac bets, I call, guy behind folds River: 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Maniac bets, I call for a read That's all for now. I 'll post a few other hands later. |

Re: Woooo some REAL LIVE B&M hands
On the second hand I would check/fold flop.
On the third hand I would fold the QTo in MP2 even after the 3 limpers. And I wouldn't call the river just to "get a read" on a maniac. There is no way to read a maniac. That is their only real strength afterall. But this is just what I would do. Maybe someone can set me straight. |

Re: Woooo some REAL LIVE B&M hands
First hand:
I play same way, not much you can do without a solid read. Second Hand: Even against a maniac I do not call the PreF raise. Im sure their are better spots to attack a maniac then on a hand were you are either slightly ahead or fairly far behind. Third hand: I agree with AC that this is an easy fold after 3 limpers for me. It could be that i generally hate Q10o but if im gonna play it I want it against fewer opponents to maximize its limited high card strength. If it was suited I'd be willing to play because the flush possibilities add good value multiway. Off-suit the straight draw is thier but unlikely and the risk of domination is too great. As for the calldown "to see what he has" for future reads, i think is very suspect. It is a large pot but I really don't think there is enough chance of a bluff or enouhg additional knowledge to be gained (we know he is a maniac) to make it worth it. Seems amateurish and sounds like a slight case of tilt being justified. Just my thoughts, If anyone disagrees please explain. Dopey [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] |

Re: Woooo some REAL LIVE B&M hands
yes, i also get the impression that the maniacs have you slightly tilted.

It was a terrible call, but I wanted to make sure he didn't think he could push me out of a pot just by betting every time. On another note, he did bet to the river wiht 9 high later in the night. |
