How to deal with mainiacs flipping at your table

WCGRider · #1 08-10-2007, 04:54 AM

in a normal scenario id be getting it in like any ace any pair, but im in a bit of a tight spot. I really am underolled for 25$ NL (300$) but am a winning 25$ NL player, so im trying to get into it, and if i dont then i just move back down after a couple buyins, kind of a calculated risk deal.

The table stacks have gotten so large its making me really nervous. These are the current stacks.

Leniu is at seat 0 with $293.65.
ICantBeatLUCK is at seat 1 with $65.28.
Hero is at seat 2 with $71.89.
dR MaLiCiouS is at seat 3 with $38.55.
nilloc1204 is at seat 4 with $52.64.
FrumpyCarter is at seat 5 with $101.95.

The bottom 2 have been doing crazy flipping, and dr has made a lot of borderline plays. The other 2 are solid players. The guy with 300$ just keeps saying "Wow sick beat" and "Very nicely played" after every hand. The fish say like "F*** You" and hes like yeah sorry man bad beat.

How to play here? Make any play that is +ev? Wait for monsters? I dont know ive never been in this situation before and i feel i need to capitilze.

Can you replace the $300? If not I play very low variance poker and hopefully the rakeback catches me up to a full 20 buyins before I go busto. I think with 12 buyins I would not be too worried. With 8 or less I would just play very solid hands.

With less than 6-5 buyins I might consider short stacking to try to get it all in with AA-TT type hands.
