Maniac gets spanked, Don Hayes, 29. Jul 2003 07:26
    View ( Message | Thread )       Return to Thread List
I was playing NL last night on planet poker and this guy sits down and every single hand he would go all in no matter what he had. He went all in got called and won with 53 diamonds. He got lucky and doubled up a couple of times but within fifteen minutes he was busted out. We were all sad to see him go from the chat most of the people at the table were hoping he would buy back in. I don't know if he was just on serious tilt or what. Have you guys ran into many people playing like this? Luckily he was on my right.

Happens all the time, maniacs are up and down, you see him with tons of chips one minute, next minute, he's all-in

There was the dentist on WPT who made it to the final table. He went all-in on every hand and never had to show down until the hand he lost on.

There is a section in Phil Hellmuths new book about the " all-in " strategy
and henames the top players who employ it. This has probably led to a lot of online newbies trying it out, especially in low limit where the loss is not too costly. There is a caveat attached to this style that he adds, howeever. That of having the ability to read your opponent after the flop comes down. Very hard to do online.

Those types of players are great as long as you are the one they eventually go all-in on and lose. But it's really frustrating if they suck out on you then give all their money to someone else!
