    Default Sets against Maniacs = -> $$$

    This guy had been betting like mad at any sign of weakness for an hour without too much damage to his stack - 'til now:

    Party Poker Pot-Limit Hold'em, $ BB (9 handed) converter

    MP2 ($25.9)
    MP3 ($23.1)
    CO ($11.46)
    Button ($39.75)
    SB ($22.25)
    BB ($17.85)
    UTG ($61.6)
    UTG+1 ($33.9)
    IJ ($24.25)

    Preflop: IJ is MP1 with J, J. SB posts a blind of $0.1.
    2 folds, IJ raises to $0.85, 1 fold, MP3 calls $0.85, CO calls $0.85, 1 fold, SB (poster) calls $0.75, 1 fold.

    Flop: ($3.65) 3, J, Q (4 players)
    SB checks, IJ checks, MP3 bets $2, CO calls $2, SB folds, IJ calls $2.

    Turn: ($9.65) 7 (3 players)
    IJ checks, MP3 bets $5, CO folds, IJ raises to $12, MP3 calls $7.

    River: ($33.65) Q (2 players)
    IJ bets $7, MP3 calls $8.25 (All-In), IJ calls $1.25.

    Final Pot: $50.15

    Results in white below:
    IJ has Jd Js (full house, jacks full of queens).
    MP3 has Qh Ah (three of a kind, queens).
    Outcome: IJ wins $50.15.

    Default I love maniacs *sometimes*

    This is why I love maniacs when I do hit a monster against them .

    It makes up for all the folding while I wait for it.............

    He doesnt look like a maniac in this hand at all. Looks more like a case of a better hand vs a good hand that couldn't let go/got committed on the river. This hand could've happened to about anybody.

    He who does not sin goes to Heaven.
