VS Ultramaniac

[Jack Sawyer]

How do we play against this guy?

[Fnord]

Don't fold good hands and run better than him.

[Jack Sawyer]

But he was really in every pot since I sat down at the table, and he raised every single pot.

Should we start reraising? Tighten up? Loosen up? Reraise every single time he raises? If he's on our left, its GTFO time, right?

This is the first time that I met such a, uhm, specimen. It was a rather interesting experience.

[BankItDrew]

widen your range, raise when u think you are ahead, slowplay more often with huge hands.

[Fnord]

Think it through. These guys are easy to crush unless the deck is hitting them upside the head.

No. Use the relative position to your advantage. Since this guy is driving the action you can check/limp to him and see what the rest of the table does, in effect putting yourself last to act.

All you need to do is ask yourself "why don't I play this way?" and come up with a bunch of reasons.

The answer to that will lead to figuring out how to exploit him.

Also, Lars makes a nice point about relative position. Most everyone is going to let this guy act before they make a decision, meaning you will close the action a lot, which is nice.
