I'm a pretty conservative player and I've been winning everyday since I first started about 4 months ago, when I came across a problem playing $.50/$1 limit at Party. I entered a room where the pot avg. was $7 hoping that there would be fishes there. What I found out was just maniacs!!! This one a%^&*# hole always bet and raised with any hand, and what makes it worst is that other stupid players would follow just because they have a flush draw, middle pair, or even a single ace. It was eating my blinds up and I was close to going on tilt. So I was patient waiting for a monster hand and when i got it I couldn't capitalize on it because of all the players jumping in the pot. Obviously someone caught there 2-pair, or trips, or draw. Is this the reason why you have to have 300 BB playing $.50/$1 limit tables so you can worry about things like this???

the ideal 6max table would be 2-3 tight players to your left, and loose passives to your right.

sitting with maniacs is a doubled edged sword, sure you're hands will get paid off, but if you're stuck folding 83o for 20 rounds, you're gonna bleed money.

also, 6max hand ranges for LP should be very liberal, don't be shy about raising.

take your ego out of the equation and judge the situation dispassionately

if the whole table is full of maniacs make a simple choice
figure out if you can outplay opps. If you think you can then stay and play
if you think you cant then leave. dont try to make money where you know it can be made if you dont have the skill in this situation to make that so.
if you have been making money at less manical tables then go and find one and carry on what you have been doing every day.
But remember that at some point you are going to have to learn to play this table so maybe tilting was a learning situation. I leanrt to play these tables the hard way by dumping a few buy ins but i got there eventually.

Miffed,

Thanks for the advice. ---> "if you think you cant then leave. dont try to make money where you know it can be made if you dont have the skill in this situation to make that so. "

I was at a 4-8 B&M at similar table. Middle pair reraising the flush draw on the flop !!

with 5 people in. One guy reraising on the river with ACE HIGH. I felt that the table was idiot (but then again I was the idiot). I folded and folded...and when i was in the hand, i was folding my middle pair or whatever to all these raises and reraises and some of those hands bottom pair won !! dropped 2 racks pretty fast.

should have just left and find a better table. I love the looose passive tables where me and mabe some other guy are the only preflop raisers. i can fold a lot, raise when i have good hands, and chase good draws with good odds (with suited connectors and A-x , K-x suited).

however, it probably does nothing to improve my game and have to learn sooner or later.

like your this advice too

But remember that at some point you are going to have to learn to play this table so maybe tilting was a learning situation. I leanrt to play these tables the hard way by dumping a few buy ins but i got there eventually.

thats why FTR ROCKS.....good advice all the time..from all the people
