Beginner Limit Hold'em Poker Forums

A true blue maniac online, haven\'t seen one of those in a while!

I know the pot is huge but Hand#1 is a flop fold, your reverse implied odds are too high as it\'s too likely that flop will be jammed.

Hand2 is fine.

Hand3 sure looks like you can fold the river as the other player is likely not folding to the maniac either and has you beat.

Hand4 raise the 77 or fold.

I leave what I thought was a very table, to come post this here because I had a feeling that I didn\'t know what I was doing. Me open limping the 77 on the last hand was a clear sign to me that I was beginning to tilt a bit and felt it was time to go.

Looks like you quit a little too late. If you feel frustrated and thrown off your game, get out. Playing with a maniac is going to be high variance and you have to have the mental stamina to play in such a game.

Joe said everything I would say. I would probably raise the 77 on the turn again and take a free showdown, lots of potential gutshots out there.

one of the few times I have gotten frustrated with poker lately. sorry about the length, I\'\'m hand typing to try and make them as easy to read as possible.

Spew-whore is two seats to my right for most of the session, at some points immediately to my right. He is 93/80/5 over 60 hands. most of other players are loose passives.

I will put these hands in sequencial order and included shown down results, in case if that has any effect in showing if I began to tilt/failed to adjust properly...
