Re: how to play LA maniac lucky idiot?
That is not how I play, I was recommending how to play against maniacs. You could be sitting there with TPTK thinking that you are owning the world, but the opposition will be sitting there with 42off and actually owning you. How did that opposition sneak in the pot with a holding like that???? Because that if you hold AKs and see a raise before you, you either call or raise a little, and then when on the turn and the board A422 faced with an all-in bet what do you do??? So, you see, how hard it is to read aggressive players?
Remember, when you play super tight, your stack builds slowly, but leaves you FAST. LAGs don't mind loosing few small pots here and there, but when they get you - it is usually for your entire stack. That's why I was saying, that you must try to keep the pot small if all you have is a pair post flop and you did not raise HUGE, and bet small post flop and get a feel for what could your opponent is holding. Don't come out firing huge bets as they could be owning you and you will either win a little or loose alot.
