Five hands against a maniac
I felt a quite lost all throughout this encounter, but I also felt like I was +EV. I'm sure I made tons of mistakes, especially on the first two hands.
I haven't been at the table long, but Villain hasn't really missed a bet. He can be 3-betting preflop with a terrible hand I'm sure and I fully expect him to bet any flop after he 3-bets preflop. My only other read on him is his avatar is Bill or Ted, whichever isn't Keanu Reeves. Not much relevant on MP2 except that if he had 2 diamonds on the flop I'm sure he's betting. HAND #1 PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (8 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is CO with K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

Outcome: UTG+1 wins 17 BB. </font> I'm including results in white because it's relevant to the context of future hands. Let me know if it would be better not to do this. A few hands later, he's a verified maniac who still hasn't missed many bets, including capping with 32s. Not much on this MP2, either, as honestly all play at this table revolves around Villain. HAND #2 PokerStars 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (8 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is MP1 with A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, MP2 calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button :#A500AF(Villain)/ 3-bets</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, MP2 calls, Button :#A500AF(Villain)/ calls.

(mucked Js 4s) Outcome: MP2 wins 21.70 BB. </font> Some hands later I get a hand again, though by now I've actually seen him fold a couple times. I may be tilting by now because I am chomping at the bit to get HU against this guy.

Afraid of an A, I don't ram & jam here, which I'm sure is wrong because I know he could have TONS of worse hands.

Re: Five hands against a maniac
Pretty sure I messed these up badly, hoping for advice on where though.

You aren't going to get many replies here. Please post hands one at a time in the future.

Re: Five hands against a maniac
Hand 1 - Fold the flop
Hand 2- Fine Hand 3 - A little too aggro, bad players get good cards too sometimes. Not sure about the 3-bet pre-flop. Slow down on the turn. Hand 4 - 3bet the flop. If Villain still raises your turn bet, call down. Hand 5 - Looks ok. |

Re: Five hands against a maniac
All these are without looking at the results before I comment. I looked at previous results before making a decision on the later hands.
hand 1 - With UTG calling, I fold the river. hand 2 - still looks good hand 3 - I probably call down after the turn raise, but 3-betting isn't TOO bad. hand 4 - I don't 3-bet that river hand 5 - I might stop and go on the turn and call down any raises, but your line looks just fine. |
