Default LMT vs maniac

limit holdem:
if you raise with 100% of your hands before the flop (and call all my raises), flop a pair twice as many times as i do, and play aggressively after the flop regardless of your hand, you will beat me every time as long as i adjust correctly to your play. right?

actually i'm not running bad. it's a legitimate question - when you do run bad vs such a player, is there anything you can do to limit the loss aside from deciding to not play?

wow that question demonstrates a fundamental misunderstanding of how running bad works.

basically, how you have been running has 0 effect on how you will run in the future (from a statistical point of view, obviously it cause losses due to bad play caused by tilt).

therefore, if the player actually is bad, keep playing them in your normal manner. if you are tilting, stop.

your question might be "is it possible to play well enough to beat someone who keeps hitting when you keep missing?", with the answer obviously being no, especially if they suck (ie you cant bluff them off top pair+), especially if it is limit.
