Unfortunately it wasn't me. It was this maniac who would raise, and reraise with things like a flush with a 5 kicker. It was the second time I've seen a royal flush in live play, and given this guys table image he got a decent amount of action with an A Q T of hearts board.
I did do pretty well at the table. I doubled up to $60 after about an hour of playing. I'm almost back up to $200. Hopefully this isn't just a streak but my actual poker playing ability, so when I hit $200 or so I can go up to $2/$4.
Yes! Kick ass Kovacs! I'm making my comeback, too. Hopefully I won't fall into my normal curse.
I've started playing a part time maniac and it really does seem to work wonders. People chase and often call after the flop but by the turn they're fixin to get out.
Good stuff.
Well, there's playing a part-time maniac, and then there's capping it when you don't have the nuts. On the turn and the river. Sure, if his opponent didn't have the nuts it would've been an interesting strategy, but when he keeps re-raising you, it might be time to put the brakes on.
