How to deal with a maniac LAG player...

The villain had already 3 bet me twice in a row before this hand which I folded.

In this hand, I decided to call his 3 bet since I have a good speculative card to play in position.

Flop is good for me as I hit my open ended str8 draw. And I decided to shove to his turn bet to represent a strong hand.

Thank you for sharing this example. IMO this play works because of 1) you are in position, 2) your image as TAG, and 3) (most importantly) he knows where the fold button is. Though I would also argue that even if he calls, you are probably not that behind, and have outs

Against those who can't find their fold button, the best way to deal with them will be to wait for a strong hand and then play against them.

However, there are times when u do not want to appear too weak by constantly folding against them.

Like in this hand, I would never call a 3 bet against most people. But in this hand, I decided to make a stand against him due to methane consideration

U r on tilt! I disagree, however if I were to play heads up I would agree, this is full ring game, too much for advertisement

Not on tilt. I have good reads against this villain, example, 100% flop and turn Cbet etc.... I also have a tight image and I have always reraise or shove turn with a set etc....

Say I have a loose image or I am playing like a fish, then this play is wrong.

And it has been a long time since i went on tilt when I took shots at 50nl. I m as clear minded as I ever have been for the whole of this month whenever I play
