I was playing some $.50/$1.00 NL on a prima skin the other night and a few big hands came up for me.

Table was pretty tight with about 35% preflop in the hands. Standard opening raise was about $4.00. Usually only heads up or three-handed after an opening raise.

First hand I get :Qd: :Qh: in MP with 2 early limpers. I raise to $4.00. First limper folds, 2nd limper calls.

Flop comes :Tc:

Limper checks, I bet $8.00 on the flop. Limper check-raises to $24.00. I call.

Turn card is

Limper bets out $12.00 and has $48.00 left. I have him covered in chips. What do you do here and why?

=======================

Next big hand I get :Ad: :Ks: in EP. UTG raises to $4.00, UTG+1 calls, I reraise to $8.00. Both call.

Flop is :Th:

:Ah:

UTG checks, UTG+1 moves all-in for $16.00, I call and UTG folds. UTG+1 turns over

and takes down the pot when a :Jh: comes on the turn.

I continue to watch this guys wreckless play for several more orbits. Note that I am directly on his left so I am in position against him every hand.

=======================

Next major hand I get to see a cheap flop with :Ah:

on the button.

Flop comes :Jd: :Ad: :As:

Maniac pushes all-in for $55.00. I call.

He turns over :Kd: :Td:, catches the flush on the turn and I don't improve.

=======================

Final hand I have :Kh: :Kc: in MP, I make it $7.00 to play.

Maniac is only caller.

Flop is

:Qd:

Maniac checks, I bet out $10 on the flop. Maniac calls.

Turn is

Maniac checks, I bet out $30 on the flop. Maniac calls. Now I get scared since I think he maybe slow playing a set or hit a lucky two pair.

River is :Ks:

He checks, I move the rest of my stack in for $32. Maniac calls and shows :As:

Maniac busts me and I call it a night.

Could any of these hands have been played differently? Please comment.

For the very first hand, I raised him his stack and he turns over

for the boat. This was not the same maniac for the other hands.

First hand you should fear trips. Limper who then calls your raise and then starts betting at a low flop. He didn't have it in this case, but that should scare you out of the hand especially with a check-raise.

The others are bad beats. Good move to call it a night after that. You'll make money if they keep making poor decisions.
