Isn't it grand when you're having 10-20BB+ pots flushed over to the guy playing suited big little? It's tougher with two of 'em, because at least with only one you can call them down with pretty good hands and expect an unimproved hand to win here and there.

To set up a check raise on the turn. This was before I really knew these guys were maniacs. You want to make it look like these guys are in control then you pop them for another on the turn. You see it a lot, good players will fold automatically to a turn checkraise on a game like this.

And with the limp reraise, the common read here is AA. Then again, who the hell knows what these guys were playin.....
