Q10s getting tricky against a manaic
Villain in the hand is the reason I'm at the table. He's a 70/30 absolute MANIAC. He can have any two cards and will play back with total air. I just sat down, but I think he's been running over the table and catching cards based on his stack. (I don't think he bought in with $3,000) Here's the hand:
Party Poker 20/40 Hold'em (6 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums) Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, <font color="#666666">3 folds</font>. Flop: (5.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, Hero calls. Turn: (4.75 BB) J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">CO bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>... I'll play some hands I wouldn't normally play just to get into pots with this guy because I know if I hit them I'll get paid off huge. I mean 4 bets on every street huge regardless of the board. Furthermore, I'll take a few hands further than I normally would for the same reason. Comments on all streets and/or my general strategy against this clown. |

Re: Q10s getting tricky against a manaic
Why are you trying to get someone who caps every street regardless, to fold?

I suppose I figured 3 things to talk myself into a very questionable turn c/r: I have 8 outs to the nuts. There's real chance that Q high is good right now. I'm pretty sure catching a Q or 10 will win it for me so there are 6 more dirty outs. |

The topic alone is enough to know that this is bad

Trying to outLAG crazy LAGs or outmaniac maniacs typically leads me to curse, yell, and my blood pressure to spike as I drop bets and watch him redistribute my money to the rest of the table.

Re: Q10s getting tricky against a manaic
The more loose and aggressive they are, the more I let them do all the betting. That means you don't need to check/raise or slowplay or raise the turn on a draw. Just lock down your game and play solid poker, and let them pay you off.

This is criminal. The guy will NEVER fold a better hand under any circumstances. Just call the turn and if you think your hand is good often enough then call the river too.

Re: Q10s getting tricky against a manaic
If he's really going apeshit with nothing then you checkraise is for value, cap as well then checkcall the river when you miss and checkraise-cap when you hit (even a T). True maniacs don't come along often and it's important to take advantage.
However if he is looking at his cards then i wouldn't bother, i'd call the turn and decide about Q high on the river. |

[/ QUOTE ] This is what I was getting at. This hand happened when I was on a rush so I played it fast - you know the feeling. I can see what everyone is saying though about it being pretty bad. Thanks for the responses everyone. I've decided to start posting more hands here since I've gotten so much out of the forum. If I post stuff that's retarded and standard just say so. |
