These are hands i normally wouldnt play against raises like this, but this guy had been in close to %90 of hands, raising over half the time and showing trash to tease the table. Let me know what you think of these hands vs a player like this:

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

CO ($15.25)
Button ($4.90)
SB ($5)
Hero ($63.05)
UTG ($19.75)
UTG+1 ($26.95)
MP1 ($20.60)
MP2 ($29.60)
MP3 ($25)

Preflop: Hero is BB with 5, 9.
1 fold, UTG+1 calls $0.25, MP1 calls $0.25, 1 fold, MP3 raises to $1, 2 folds, SB calls $0.90, Hero calls $0.75, UTG+1 folds, MP1 folds.

SB checks, Hero checks, MP3 bets $1.25, SB calls $1.25, Hero calls $1.25.

River: ($11) A (3 players)
SB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks.

Final Pot: $11

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.25 BB (7 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)

UTG ($33.85)
Hero ($44.35)
MP2 ($19.45)
CO ($22.15)
Button ($20.35)
SB ($27.65)
BB ($20.10)

Preflop: Hero is MP1 with 8, 7.
1 fold, Hero calls $0.25, 3 folds, SB completes, BB raises to $1, Hero calls $0.75, SB folds.

Flop: ($2.25) 9, A, 6 (2 players)
BB bets $1, Hero calls $1.

Turn: ($4.25) 6 (2 players)
BB bets $2, Hero calls $2.

River: ($8.25) 5 (2 players)
BB bets $5, Hero raises to $10, BB calls $5.

Final Pot: $28.25

First hand didnt bet on the river, only because he has a constant habit of betting on the river to chase people away.

Welcome to FTR my friend, it's one of the best places to learn poker on net. Your game will improve in no time

But I have to tear you apart anyway.

What's your plan on further streets if you totally miss the flops? Are you ready to play back at his c-bets?

Hand #1: it's horrible, you limp junk from EP (bad), flop call is "so so", turn very passive with big combo draw, check the river - fatal error. Glub, glub...

Hand #2: Preflop the same mistake, even if you have maniac on table, you shouldn't play such a hands. They miss too frequently.

Flop really helped you, play back at his c-bet and take free card on turn.
River minraise sucks, raise it harder.

If you want to punish the maniacs, you can play more hands than usually but different kinds of hands (big cards) and go a bit further with them - it's totally opposite compared to anti-nits hands (suited connectors, small PP's are good, big cards are disaster)- so you have to be confident in your reads.

I'd muck that s00ted garbage anyway and wait for solid hand. Then give him some rope to hang himself or drop the hammer.

Now go, play more and post some solid hands.

Thank you so much. I appreciate you going into more depth and adding to your post.
My game needs some tuning up so i have been doing reading on this site/forums and using poker tracker (just got it) to iron out the kinks.
I wanted to post what i considered to be problem hands for me, and even though these hands worked out, I wanted to see if there was any right to these. I happened to be in a 15 hand cold streak, with the best cards being kt (not making excuses).
