Gone fishin

[jfletcher]

Today I was playing some NL25 6 max and this total maniac shows up. He was playing just about every hand and raising just about all of them.

I played with as much as possible, hoping to stack him. Unfortunately, I got my money in good against him a couple times and he sucked out, and another time he actually had a way better hand than I figured. Anyway, I was down about $30 to him when he got stacked by someone else (shock) and left the table.

So I searched for his name and found he had gone to a NL 100 full ring table. I followed him there and got the seat immediately to his left. It was nice because I knew he was crazy but for a while the other players at the table wouldn't.

I pretty much limped or called his raises with any two cards, just to see a flop with him, and when I had a good hand, I put in a big re-raise to isolate him.

After about 30 mins, I got a set and took about an $80 pot off him. At that point he actually had $50 left, but I had to go to work, so I had to leave the table. Still I left $50 ahead, which was nice.

Usually these stories don't end well, so I wanted to share one that did.
