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?
