Re: pair vs. spew machine
River is an obvious fold but that's not what you wanted to know, right? I'd start raising a lot of flops against him. Especially this one where you have middle pair, it's probably way ahead of his cbetting range. Don't give him the advantage of having you guessing, put some pressure back on him.

Re: pair vs. spew machine
Dunno either, I play very aggressively so I usually raise c-bets with everything between air -- the nuts if I feel someone is trying to run me over. Calling down is also fine but obv. not in this hand. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: pair vs. spew machine
yeah ok that's fair! I suppose it's kinda hard to say which is better without seeing a specific hand. What's hugely important too is if they are capable LAGs or retardo-LAGs

Re: pair vs. spew machine
i don't really like to r/f flops with marginal showdown power against people that never do anything but bet or fold. against most people, i'd r/f the flop with a 6x or whatever, because sometimes i will actually get called and either suckout or have the best hand. i'm not really sure what my question is, by the way.

Re: pair vs. spew machine
the way to beat a maniac who looks to have some idea of wut he is doin is not calling down. u need to b c/r and raising on flops and turns to slow him down. seeing those stats makes me think he has some idea of poker sense and is not just a bluffing maniac. not to mention he has a monster stack so it appears he has been hitting some good hands. i think u should either raise the flop or turn here and turn ur hand into a bluff.
