But here you go Spike, you're obviously an expert, so I'd love to hear your strategy...you move to his left, you have 100bb's and tell me what your strategy is for this game with these hands...
1.) Villain raises $25 UTG and you are UTG+1 with 77?
2.) Someone in MP raised to $15, Villain calls on button, and you are sb with KQ?
3.) 3 limpers, Villain makes it $20 in MP, and you look down at A9s?
4.) 3 limpers, Villain makes it $12, you are in HJ with 66?
1) depends on rest of table, most likely fold. if table is going to 'play nice' and see 4-6 way flops for 25, then call. if someone is looking to squeeze pre fold. call for an open of 15, go either way if open to 20.
2) depending on who someone is. might 3b this sometimes. def never folding if its going to the flop 4 ways max (likely 3 ways)
3) fold or 3b
4) call
id snap jam AQ over a blind open to 45 for 100bb.
id also snap jam ATs+ 88+ and be pretty happy about it.
hell, if he sits down and im on his right and he proceeds to go 45 blind, i might even get it in with him 'lighter' for 100bb to ensure he gives me action the rest of the night. gambling degens always love other degens.
by lighter i mean A8+ KJ+ 66+.
some people seem to think that being on the direct left of a maniac is the most profitable. i think the seat that is 2 spots over is the best. this depends on how aggressive they are postflop, preflop maniacs who calm down postflop, direct left is best. preflop and postflop maniac, id rather have some dead money inbetween me and maniac.
its actually harder to play on the direct left of some maniacs due to poor relative position. there are some complete nutjobs i'd rather be one or two to their right.
i dont think these types of players are difficult to play against. if anything its boring having to wait and actually make a hand and hope it holds as opposed to beating up on other regs and passive fish.
