Playing Short Handed with 3 Maniacs

[Zybomb]

Good advice on the rest of the post as well. I still had a playable stack (13-14 BBs) so I didnt have to push, but only 4 handed with so much preflop aggression and raises being contested so often, the blinds get around fast.

The main issue was I was trying to stay patient, but I wasnt getting premium hands. I was getting the occassional J10s, Q10, Kxs, 44, etc... but like I said I still had 13-14 or so BBs in my stack. With this many chips Do I push with hands like these? I could try and open but my open was reraised on average 1 out of every 2 times.

These players were also players who called a CB flop bets with nothing, just attempting to steal the pot on a later street (or get lucky and catch).

Thats great if you are hitting the flop, the issue was in general, I wasnt.

Frustrating night, 3rd place finish, no cash
