Am I the only person...

this question really made me think of the last time i was at foxwoods.

at the two different tables that i sat at, there were just completely different styles. at the first, it was the most loose passive table i have ever been at. i was the only person who would consistently raise preflop, and there were usually 8 people in every pot preflop. the next table i was at had one absolute maniac, so most pots were capped preflop. this still left 5 people in, on average, but it was much more difficult to play against this player.

clearly these two tables were profitable, but i had to play them in very different ways. i think that it is almost more important to match up the style of your play with the others at the table, than it is to constantly be trolling for fish. i deally i want a mix of abilities at the table, but i would rather avoid the maniacs and play with the loose passives all day long.
