Message: [QUOTE="Sos1l, post: 7235604, member: 486867"] Yeah, maniacs are a very common phenomenon in poker, and we have to accept them as they are. A maniac is someone who holds a slingshot but acts like he has a tank (a straight) or even a nuclear bomb (quads) 😂. These players can ruin your stack because they play on pure luck and aggression. But at the same time, they can take chips from everyone else and then bring their entire stack to you in one single hand. They’re like the mushroom in Mario — you find it, wait for the moment, and when the time is right, you eat it and get stronger. They’re like a power-up locked in an electric panel — you have to be careful and attack only when you’ve got real strength. Great fold 👏👏. I’ve also lost many times with two pairs, and I know that two pair is much more often a fold than a call against a shove. For calling shoves, it’s better to start with a set — and play everything weaker with caution. [/QUOTE]
