Session with a true maniac
Yesterday had a session with the biggest maniac i ever met. He could be on ultra tilt, drugged or don't know. I sat down to a table and very shortly realized that it will be funny. I had the decision to stay and accept the variance train or leave. I've prepared myself mentally for the previous to avoid tilt.
He played 70/40 w 3b 23%. He had a fairly simple strategy. Shoving. During 80 hands at the table he shoved pre like 50%!. He openshoved w trash. He minopened and than shoved to any raise. He shoved 3b to almost every raise. Then he unmucked J5o and similar stuff. He shoved almost always on the river if it was reached. It was the tough part when a reg sucked out with his AK vs his trash. At the end I've made some profit, but it was tough. This was the session when i limped:)

Thats what i figured. I played with a maniac like that yesterday. Shoved about every 4th hand. Was desperately wanted something to get it in with but went card dead.
