The maniac route

After having finished my daily sessions at NL25 i decided to try out the other side. I needed some fun, wanted to know the other side of the coin. For this, i stepped down to NL10 and played as no tomorrow. 

I tried out such things what i always was scared to do. To try lines i was always feared when i met with a maniac. It was such a fun. I played like 33/30 with 11% 3b and with a high WWSF (which is not the case at my regular style). I wanted to see the limits i can reach. I seemed like a maniac fish probably. Min3betted in position a lot, overbetted regularly and similar. Overbetted with the goods, overbetted with trash. There are pros and cons of course and I made several mistakes. 

There is a lot of FE, but at some point people will look you up lightly. That's the interesting part, when you could have trash, good hand or the nuts. You should have a read about their play, it's crucial and i'm sure it makes the difference from badaggro fishes. When you got raised pre or post it's a very easy fold due to our image. i didn't have such easy folds. You won't get bluff raises. Regulars played fitnfold, i bluffed here a lot. Against fish it's the same play. Valuebet them all day long. Never bluff. Fish will call even the overbets with the draws, weak pairs. I made mistakes here as i wanted to see i can bluff them. Was just light on fire. 

So it was a good fun at first. I enjoyed playing like this and honestly it was a long time ago i felt like this during my regular grind. Definitely was an interesting route. I think it was not the last day. 

Some hands


1. Nit, 12/9. I checked the river to induce some bluffs

3. Nit, funny hand. I couldn't lay down here, my image was so wild that expected worse hands to call. Its okay that he wanted to induce some bluffs, but slowplaying on this board is a huge mistake. And the river saved him.

6. My initial thinking was that i wanted to be consistent and overbetting, potting regularly. But this way i got a lot of folds, even when have the nuts. But i wanted an image that i could have anything from bluffs to nuts.
