[Praxising]

[ QUOTE ]
The players I mentioned were not maniacs. They were just stealing way too often.

And not reraising someone who completed in steal position(espeically in cash games) with a 3-card 8 is a big sin in Razz. If you don't do so, it is correct for such player to complete with any 2 card hand.

[/ QUOTE ] Your description of their 3rd st play fits the "maniac" profile. However, I was the one who made that comparison, and as you weren't responding yourself, I believe a lot of the comments were informed by the response to the OP.

I don't think you necessarily always raise someone who completes in "steal position" with a three card 8. There are boards, opponents, situations and certain three card eights I when would call or might just fold.
