Re: A weird hand with a maniac
 

I think his range is pretty massive here so seems like an easy bet.

Pf I'd rather fold than limp rr but i'd prolly just raise and deal w/ a squeeze if it happened. I dont think these guys squeeze that much anyway. Most of their high pfr % tends to come form opening pots.

I think he did. And that is kind of mindboggling. Once the drooler found a hand he called the first raise with, he is calling the second raise 80% of the time. Hate preflop.

Whats so bad about just calling preflop and playing a hand with good implied odds deep vs PoorUser and the drooler. PoorUser will play honest since the drooler is in there. Check folding a lot of flops is not a disaster if you can win a big one every once in a while.

If you flop top pair you can lead into PoorUser, he is unlikely to raise without having you beat since the drooler is in the pot.

LRR for value is sexy. Valuebet this flop.

LRR to make him fold a better hand is spewtastically retarded.

Re: A weird hand with a maniac
 

ur value playing vs 70/40s with WTSD of 40 doesnt come from extracting the maximum of ur 5% preflop equity edges. wtf?

Re: A weird hand with a maniac
 

You guys rly like bloating the pot oop deep v a maniac w/ A8. I think any small pre flop equity edge is countered by the headaches this guy will give you post.

Re: A weird hand with a maniac
 

preflop is terrible. postflop I'd just check it down because he's not folding better

Re: A weird hand with a maniac
 

playing this pre is a spew - just fold this junk utg.

as played I bet 440 and obv fold to resistance.

Re: A weird hand with a maniac
 

He has basically a random hand. a)he does fold 30% of the time - maybe when he has to put 25bb in with cheese is one of those times? b)his range is mostly crap preflop and will be mostly crap on the flop. I bet 400 and he instamucked. I did LRR after all! Even this dude is not going to need two barrels to get off bottom pair, right?

Well, that's what I thought at the time, but a small part of me WAS afraid that he was either going to c/r or c/c with a slightly better (or maybe even c/r a worse) hand. You guys think this whole thing is retarded, though? Just limp/call and check/fold?

so your line is to limp/call UTG against a TAG preflop raiser and then to c/f the flop? how can that line possibly be good...

In this case vs. this specific opponent, with another player still in.....yes. You're calling the raise in an attempt to get his stack, not win a small pot. Big deal if you miss the flop and have to fold. Deal with it I guess. Luego continues to make the point in your threads to stop trying to win every pot. Take that to heart.
