the plo maniac

There's a guy playing at the Bodog PLO tables that's extremely LAG. He pots 90% of pots pre-flop regardless of position. He'll limp 5% of the time. He'll fold the other 5%.Post-flop, he usually pots it, but he'll sometimes slow down if there's resistance (in the form of calls or raises). Every now and then, he'll do something strange like flop a pair of jacks and call someone down with merely that (and no other draws). I guess he's trying to get action...Anyway, he's at .10/.25 PLO right now...and he's sitting on $450.What's the best way to counter this guy? Or is it even worth it to try?I often limp with decent AAxx hands and come over the top of him pre-flop...but he seems to have gotten smart to that and has started folding.

Scoop with good hands while in position.Good luck.

Assuming it's PLO high, I'd say limp in with all hands you want to play, and bet your good hands/draws. It's not a situation though where you want to proceed without more than one draw.And get ready for a bumpy ride for a while. My experience has been once you win a big pot from them a couple of times, they tend to avoid you.I'm frustrated as censored that my cashout from Party is taking the full 48 hrs as I'm waiting to put it at Bodog and play .10/.25 PLO. What's this guy's SN?

What's the best way to counter this guy? Or is it even worth it to try?It helps to sit to his left so that you're in position most of the time. PLO(8) is all about position.Good luck.

Sluggo, I'll make sure to do that in the future. Would you suggest trying to isolate him pre-flop?SR, he goes by Bevos_Nuts. And, Bodog cashouts are extremely fast these days.
