Secondly is this a bad beat? I tried to get trappy and limped these but maybe next time should i raise jacks preflop. Was this a bad beat? HOw would you guys play it next time?

1. You were behind, fold every time.

2. NEVER limp Js preflop, they are way too vulnerable. Maybe you can pull this off with Aces but not often. And you can't call the all-in on the river. NOT a bad beat, as you were behind every step after the flop.

WRONG
he IS a maniac, but he pays big hands!

Hand1
make your style clear early imo. Either raise this hand or dont play it. For me on the sb (and button) i want to build the pot, either with a big hand or suited stuff (Ax,Kxeven Qx and suited connectors) or even decent conenctors T9.
It doesnt really matter where you are in this hand as you have nothing so easy fold.

Hand2
as said, never limp a pp from the sb ever! even ducks! If he calls (and he might) if you raise that hand and bet it you may have to face being beat and see showdown for cheap. Remember opp may be manaic/loose/aggressive, but if he puts his stack in your beat so dont call.

[TalentedTom]

Yeah HU i never limp with anything, its either raise or fold.

[Les_Worm]

why you guys playing w/ play money?

[mouteut]

edud can be a damn manaic when he wants to be one....

i remmeber playing him at 100 NL, i go all in pre flop with aces and he calls with something like J2o.

Thats when he was drunk thx for the 80$ edud ^^

You should be at my 50NL tables, I'm maniac-ing it up

[Diminish]

party at eduds house

[mouteut]

I will out maniac you!

[edudlive]

I will out maniac you!

The great thing is you don't have to!

Losing 2 buyins at 50NL due to my being uber aggressive (two stupid all in bluffs), I ended up +1 buyin over the session of 222 hands because I got a guy to call of his whole stack ($65) with second pair second kicker (king 9 off) against my TPTK (AJs)

.....mmmmm
