Maniac all in and catching everything

[MrsLime]

No one has pointed out the cons of playing against people like this. For example, your variance has just rocketed off the scale, which might be dangerous if you are playing on a short bankroll. One guy I knew sat at a maniacal £50 PLHE and spun £200 up to £2000. The maniacs looked like they were going to be donating all night, but the guy decided to leave, as now a significant portion of his roll was on the table (and he was covered). The value is irrelevant if you can't take the swings.

Also, beware of running straight into someone else's nuts. For example, maniac open raises to 30BB. You call with TT. Next guy along moves all-in for another 40BB. Look what trouble you have got yourself into.

for starters, show the hand. What did he beat you on. Your raises 30bb ... blah show hand history. Describe the game, the seats. And yeah u probably got outplayed. I know im_losing and hes very good player. DONT FUCK WITH HIM. He's been on my table and usually he runs the table. Go ahead follow him. Track your fish, but soon you will find that your actually chasing a shark. I dare you Follow him. I DARE YOU!

I go offline for the weekend and we have this on the forum.  lol

Opinions aside mate, I dont rate anyone that moves all in everyhand regardless of the cards, thats not a good player thats a Gambler.

One last word.

MUG!

I come across players like these now and again. The key is to remain composed and not to get frustated if they either suck out on you, pay off someone else, or bugger off in a hit and run.

Also, be very aware of the players behind you when calling big pre-flop bets.
