He's a Maniac for Sure
 
I met up with a Maniac table tonight! Every round was raised. Never was there not a pre-flop raise. The reason this happened was because one guy was raising and re-raising everything! I got mad at first. I then decided to bet back into him with decent hands. He bets to the river with A-10 vs my A-Q to give me my first good pot. I then flop a pair of Aces with a BAD kicker, like a 3! He bets me down to the river. I am raising him whenever I can because I know he bets any hand. I was expecting to lose. I win and type into the chat “I love you man!”. So basically he won me about $100 in 20 minutes and I folded the table to play with the Bloggers.

I think a good strategy against these guys is to tighten up. Play premium hands. And make him pay when you hit anything! Sometimes this is going to cost you money but most times you will kill him. He capped me with the A-10 hand when he had NOTHING! Sometimes you just have to play into him.

On my List
 
He is on my fish list! Playing NL with Bloggers is ALOT of fun! Talking trash.. kind of like a home game.

The I love you comment.. well, you got me there. Sometimes it is hard to bite your tongue when someone drives you so crazy for a while and then pays you off like he should!

Open up 2 tables...
One for the first fish, and second for this Bloggers guy.
I tend to try and not leave a table with someone who doesn't like to keep their money.

Anytime
 
Come by and play with me anytime.

Sometimes I play for money, other times I just want to kick back and have some fun. Different strokes for different folkes.

what game were you playing at?

SirFWALGMan 12-08-04 11:41 AM

Yeah, did I pay you off good? heh. I might have, but the past week has been really good!

ChipFish 12-08-04 11:48 AM

5-10.... Hit you during your downstreak.... Actually, from what I could tell you were pretty good, just had some bad luck....
If I were you and got comfy with your bankroll again, You should head back up there.

Teary..
 
Thanks for the comment.. your making me teary.. and here I thought you were starting trouble with me! I am going to hit 5/10 again. The roll is up to 3K again. I am not emotionally stable enough to handle the swings yet. I will probably do a table of 5/10 every once in a while to show myself it is not that scary. I am going to wait until I get 4-5K to go up for good though. Hopefully my poker game will mature enough that I can handle the swings.
