Playing against maniacs is xEV because you make money from your opponents mistakes in Poker.

I'm pretty sure the "scared of AA" comment was sarcasm. If not, please reread the Lagtard part of the OP.

well that all depends. Say Imsakid has one the last few hands, which means he's now up a few bets. He's probably [censored], right?

Pocket Kings.... second best hand... I'll wait for a better spot.

I don't play poker to be safe, I play poker to make money.
