I'm playing NL Hold'em 25c/50c.
Buy-ins are up to $60. Typical night has $1500 on table, and top 3 guys usually cash out between 300-400 each.
10 handed. Half the table are maniac calling stations.
Blinds 25c/50c, preflop bet is $5 from maniac #1. Maniac #2 calls, tightest player at the table calls (Mcnuts), I call. Everyone else folds. That makes me last to say.
Flop is 9cQd4d. I have 44.
Maniac1 bets $5, maniac 2 calls $5, Mcnuts raises to $10. I call, so do the maniacs.
Turn is a 4!
Maniac 1 bets $10, maniac 2 calls, Mcnuts raises to $20, I call, so do the maniacs.
River is a 3rd diamond, a Jack. There are now straight, flush and full house possibilities. But I have the nuts with quads.
Maniac 1 bets $20, maniac 2 calls $20, Mcnuts raises to $40.
Now it's to me. There's already $220 in the pot. The maniacs will call any amount all night long to try and hit a flush or straight on river. You gotta tell yourself one or both hit it.
Mcnuts only min raises flop/turn if he has top pair and good flush draw. That fact is written in stone.
Maniacs have about another $10 each, Mcnuts another $150+.
Call or raise?
