Poker is EZ Mode

I was going to write about how I got the name Maniac57. A while ago I wrote about how I got the name SirFWALGMan. SO I figured I needed a cover story for Maniac. I really had no reason to choose the name though. I mean I could say I drank the blood of 57 maniacs. That might continue the legend that I am.

Fortunately for you I played some poker. I had a nice session at PLO 6-MAX. The session started out crappy when this hand screwed me bad.

So here I have turned my set and have a nice redraw to a boat or a flush. The tard has hit his outs for the straight which sucked because he should not fold here. I miss about a million outs. It was not fun. See how I make some of the calls I do? I assume 1 million outs which gives me good odds for most draws.

So then I am kinda tilty but whateva. I mean we have a ton of limpers and I have a chance to make some cash if I can hit.

BOOOM Baby! I hit one of my double gutters. I swear I hit gutters so hard on Full Tilt. I am the man. If you hit gutters at the rate of 75% then you should ALWAYS play them. I have PokerTracker data to backup my rate over two hundred thousand hands.

So now I am back in the saddle with a full buyin. My luck just keeps rolling along.

I have no idea how this guy makes this call but I am happy that he did. The original raiser had folded out so I discounted Aces on the caller. I figured he would have re-raise pre-flop with that. If I was wrong I had some good flush outs. So I went for it.

Next it just gets silly.

I decided to sit out after this hand. Up three buyins. A bunch of sixty dollar stacks at the table. I took my hundred and ran. RUN FORREST RUN! Normally I would stay but I figured it would be nice to lock in a win.
