How to Deal with MANIACS in Poker

[@tiltud]

Hey Pete, just picked up Weapons of War. There are many options in the poker education space but something about the way you explain the game meshes well with my thought process. I have abandoned online for live and taking concepts you explain and altering them for the “True EV” of live has led to printing money. If you ever have time for some live hand reviews I think it’d make a great video. Can’t thank you enough, good luck with the baby! 👊

Few true maniacs on GG low stakes at least. Mostly just passive nit regs maybe 1 maniac per 4 tables or something

that player you are battling is actually charlie carrell

[@dot333333]

That would be amazing. But last I saw Charlie's avatar was Einstein not the clown/joker thing.

[@ИгорьВиноградов-ф4ф]

Hello, are the coatching sessions sold on your site are being made by you or some other coaches? Is it somehow possible to buy a coaching session from you with crypto?) Cause on your site it's only paypal/credit card that I can't make a payment with.

hi pete, could you please elaborate why the RC tables are lower EV than the regular tables. bc u get reads over the time and u basically stay when theres a weak player, or is there more?

[@MichaelBennett1]

My answer from my experiences with omaha is that fast folds are much tighter and much more likely to play correctly and are more reg infested vs regular tables where people people have to deal with patience issues and are more likely to tilt. These issues might be even worse in holdem than Omaha. You also get solid (not just a bunch of stats) reads on player types much more quickly on normal tables too, especially if like me, you don't use tracking software - I don't want to get banned when some random rule is dropped.

This question has been asked and answered so many times i dunno how it's still being asked when the answer is pretty logical

[@jrm8206]

The only maniacs I see on GG are from the UK or RO. The ones from the UK are ultra GTO punters becaus of 'blockers' in the wildest -EV spots most of the time lol. Not that many players from the UK though. I guess they can play on Stars and sites like 888 aswell.

[@4session_blunts]

U have no clue about poker talking like this

[@4session_blunts]

High stakes there are punters every where

[@elpistolero82]

He is right that there aren't that many UK players on GG. I'm fine with that as from what I've seen UK regs are generally solid.

Have not watched the video yet, but if you don't mention, "Getting away from hands that are vulnerable to barrels on early streets", I'll be disappointed. It's counter intuitive, but it's actually the correct way to really punish players that are aggressive in the barrel heavy sense. If you know they will barrel much more than they should, bring a much stronger ranger to later streets. Edit: Yeah, the 7's call on the turn is atrocious on the turn. You're not exploiting if the maniac is likely to barrel river, you're mistaking how you exploit these guys. An exploit would be calling 7's if you know they're not likely to bet the river. Your thinking is backwards here, even if intuitively it seems otherwise. The AJ hand is good vs this player type, also your last hand with the boat. If you imagine the AJ hand got spicy on the turns, rather than the river... then you'd fold rather than call off. The point is poker is a multi street game. Like you know how you look at gtowizard or whatever, and you're making a call and it shows the call as a bluff catcher 0 ev? Well that's relative to your current stack on river, after that turn investment... so perhaps that's a way of visualizing just how bad it is to call these such hands on turns vs players than are barrel heavy.

I know Jamie Gold, played with him several times, and even ended going to a strip club with him once. Very nice guy, but he completely blew up post world championship. also his mom plays a lot of local tournaments as well, so see he from time to time
