strategy 4 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I posted a question about bankroll requirements for pot limit omaha (hi) for the specific purpose of playing in this game.Yesterday morning I noticed a $100PLO table on pokerroom with a ridiculous amount of money on the table. I believe it was somewhere in the ballpark of $3000, $1000 in the hands of a maniac.I found out I have the roll to cover it, but I wanted to know what everyone else would do to handle a table maniac like this one.Regardless of position, he would usually raise the pot preflop. He was called by virtually everyone, every time. Pots would get as big as $300 with the winner scooping with two pair.What was I doing? Well. I was playing solid hands, with an emphasis on going for the nut flush draw. I dropped $200-300 in pots where I had the nut flush draw on an unpaired board all-in against four or five other players.I am not complaining about my results. I lost about $500 and I have no regrets about the plays. Is there any other way to play but nut-peddling when at a loose table where no one is giving any respect? Does anybody favor getting in there and mixing it up with the maniac? Link to post Share on other sites
JacKingOff_suit 0 Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 You may be looking at the play money table. Oops, forgot the Anyway for PLO $200 or below, 300BB is sufficient if you play conservatively, it's a much simpler game than PLO8 (to me). Link to post Share on other sites

It was real money, and I have first-hand experience with the ridiculous variance in a maniac pot limit omaha game. I don't think there is any way you could survive in a game like this with just 300BBs. Link to post Share on other sites
