OMG - Why doesn't Pokerstrategy offer the quality instruction and option of numerous strategies that this guy uses... From now on I'm playing a combo of twilight zone and proximity with the ultimate goal of finishing 2nd... This is sheer comic genius... Stick with this video for the first 6-8 minutes or so...
I don't care about results , but these ones are funny.
Trapped another sucker making him think Im on flush draw ... nooo he gets running flush with 10 10 vs my QQ dOH lol!
Donk calls my maniac all in bluff with K10 , Ace on river anyone?
funny bs conversation afterwards 
Grailer: good call son
Grailer: pre flop bad call tho
Grailer: thats 1 of the 2 reasons why u lost
Grailer: 1. made bad call pre flop AQ > K10
prily: you i-d-i-o-t ))
Grailer: u donkey
Grailer: 2. u checked the flop and u had best hand haha
Grailer: if u had bet , u might have not lost all ur money
Grailer: i was on free roll
Grailer: lucky me hehe
prily: I say, you i-di-o-t ))
Grailer: i say u r good player, just unlucky 
( pause )
Grailer: unlucky that u played me
prily: I like to play with i-d-i-o-ts ))
Grailer: thats why he called me with 10 10 before when I had QQ lol
Grailer: cause I move all in with anything
prily: You lose ))
Grailer: yes call me more please
Grailer: i gambled on semi bluff
Grailer: and won so please dont be angry
Grailer: poker = gambling right ?
prily: I'm not angry. ))
Grailer: Nor am I , I just won $5 from u
prily: AQo not in flop best to all in )))))
Grailer: K10 is super weak tho lol
Grailer: better all in on flop than all in on turn when ace comes?
prily: So, shut up.
Grailer: u call all in on turn if ace comes ? no

Grailer: I wouldnt go all in if u played ur hand right
after another 6 hours of this bs
Grailer: yeah sorry about giving u bad beat
Grailer: i just seem to be lucky
DonksCrusher: lol it has some ev+ asspects
DonksCrusher: i can make a note that u defend blinda with sh.it cards
Grailer: after I read super system 2 i seem to be lucky lately
And just to prove to you that he is right .. for anyone who cares . Never defend your blinds with crap like this
Defend blinds with hands like 45 - 9 10 to make str8s etc , 2 pair is risky .
he can't be a troll, even an elite troll couldn't write a story like this
"Grailer: not good enough to play good players ? <-- bait him for tilt"

Maniac fun sessions at NL2
First standard poker hand . AK always finds a way to win
This hand is blind defense , I crush short stack players for fun.
Im on a free roll now , any 2 cards are good .... AK is always fun to beat
I like these sort of hands
Even a maniac can produce the nuts
I know when king comes on turn the money is shipping into my bankroll , another great hand by me !
KJ vs 10 10 Someone Stop me! oops wtf ? NO WAY U R KIDDING ME
Well , I love to beat these tight ABC players so I picked on this one guy who played few hands and always bet strong with good hands. Time to exploit his weakness
I call his raise , in that postion he could have alot of hands but obviously Im not folding a great hand like J5 actually I should raise him to see if he has the goods . I decide to call .. I hit the flop nice , I check he takes ages to c- bet and then bets light , I know he has nothing but obviously I cant allow him to draw out a cheap card lol , end of hand for him
First of all I isolate him with a min raise , which i do alot with big hands to hopefully induce a re raise .. however this time im bluffing . I know he has a small pair and is set mining , I slow play him on river and turn allowing him to draw out his set , then bet big on river cause i mean i cant show down Q7 lol He probably thought he was getting good odds to suck out a set against me , what he didnt know is that he fold the best hand oops.
========================
Q7 again , this hand is actually good I played this one a few before the above hand .. thats kinda why I played Q7 again lol .... I probably overbet river here , but Im kinda glad he didnt see what I had , that would spoil the illusion right
--------------------------------------------------
I cant let him steal my small blind for such a small price
I flop the nuts almost , Im confident I have him beat and let him bluff me, on river I value bet , lucky for me he calls with ace high lmao , as predicted.
Lol , i let him bluff me again
I guess he was on a flush draw .. one of the many possible hands he could have had.
Seriously how the hell does this happen where I have to lay down what WAS the nuts on river ..
Man i swear if i never got this unlucky all the time I might be rich.
I can only beat a bluff on river after flopping nuts ( unless he had A7 )
....

I was hoping to be compared to Durrr
I mean remember the maniac hands Im posting are not my normal hands , they are the 1 hand in 50 I play to be creative. I usually always have better ranked hand than my opponents , Im hard to bluff because I don't fold often , and I make my opponents pay alot on river to see my cards.
Always room for improvement tho

Gee what a day....
First hand of the day i get played at ... then he shows me bluff , with a tilt score of 65 out of 100 he got to me but I figure I played the hand really badly anyway so its all good , but I was steaming a bit , no one likes to be shown a bluff.
I could have checked behind him and taken free turn card , Im going to lose this hand about 1 in 4 anyway if I called him .
Then I pick up KQ suited and the SB raises , I defend.
Now this guy is a really good player , so its very likely he has a hand ... I have no idea how I called flop and turn , I guess its like opening a present , I want to see what he raised me with 
..
After this he left me alone, I guess he knew he needed a real hand to bully me with ♠_biggrin:
I pick up a good drawing hand under the gun , I limp in , raising with AK is good idea but to be honest , Ive lost so much money with it , since its not suited I decide to play it weak . If someone raises me they probably bump it up to 20 , but if I raise they bump it to 56 and Im seeing a flop with ace high vs ?? No one raises , I flop broadway, wow someone played K9 .. silly lad ...
Life is good , maybe this is my day !! .. Ive lost every other day or broke even.
Wow I get a monster hand Im on a rush cowboys in the pocket.. BLAGH typical an overcard hits and even worse I pick up nut flush draw and pay him off on turn. Couldve been worse he might have moved all in before flop and I lose stack .. I think he had AQ thats my read anyway.
Well so far Im breaking even ..sigh again ...
After that I get a whole lot of pockets that never hit set , or TT and overcards hit etc .. now Im losing money .
The maniac who bluffed me before with A7 v my 77 is tearing up the table with luckbucketness . He raised all in with 83 and showed , so Im like a bit scared of him because he is super lucky .. anyway I pick up QQ and to be honest i know if I raise he could shove with anything which makes it bingo or call my raise with anything and bluff me . So I decide to slow play it ... Yep terrible flop , and to make it worse I hit a set on river and had to pay of his obvious str8 . Lucky for me I bet river light and he sold his hand cheap. KK busted and QQQ busted .
I actually won money with QQ .. if I raised I wouldve put 16 cents in . c bet another 16-30 cents , maybe even bet turn , and definately calling a big big bet on river.
Instead I lost 31 cents , I think I won money
I pick up Q10 suited , someone limps in , I decide to follow , entire table comes in sweet , love a drawing hand when money is in pot.
I flop a gutshot draw + backdoor flush , so say 5 outer .
The villiant ( my nemesis who bluffed me with A7 and cracked my Queens ) bets the pot , now i should fold right ... NO HELL NO!
pot is 50 cents + my $5 ( implied pot odds ) player is aggressive so he has 2 pair or set. So I can easily call 25 cents here I can actually call up to $1.37 to get correct odds , in fact I should really raise him to give myself correct odds right ♠_cool:
Turn comes I hit my backdoor flush , he bets pot again , now I will win 1 in 4 , is it worth calling ..
lets do some maniac math .. There is $1.49 in pot add into the fact the player is very aggressive and doesnt fold river .. I probably get him all in on river if it hit my draw. Thus pot + my stack = $6.20 ... divided by 4 is $1.55
so Im getting great price to see river .73 cents is a bargin!!
I call , I make draw , I check to check raise and bingo as predicted I stack him... Now thats poker

♠_evil:
pfft tight table time to make the set miners pay ♠_evil:
I thought the bet of 27 was a give away that i actually was
playing 27offsuit ♠_biggrin:
====================================================
Awesome I made my backdoor flush RAISE!
====================================================
Someone tries to pull my 27 trick with 10 4 ... nice try but im too ♠_cool:
Lol , they try again I hoped they actually had 27 this time , I call with 3-5 outer ( probably had best hand on flop no doubt ) and seal the deal on turn .
KK under gun and no action ,
AK missed flop
99 missed set vs QQ and 66 ( 66 moves all in loses stack on turn lol
44 missed set
22 missed set
and ended up with small profit after 1 hour on the table
Ive tried to classify my style ..
Im a fish ... A piranha
They are the most ferocious fish in the world. Even the most formidable fish, the sharks or the barracudas, usually attack things smaller than themselves. But the piranhas habitually attack things much larger than themselves. They will snap a finger off a hand incautiously trailed in the water; they mutilate swimmers—in every river town in Paraguay there are men who have been thus mutilated; they will rend and devour alive any wounded man or beast; for blood in the water excites them to madness. They will tear wounded wild fowl to pieces; and bite off the tails of big fish as they grow exhausted when fighting after being hooked.
lmao this is a sick hand, I raised all in with 24 suited after 2 players had raised each other , I figured maybe one has AK and other has AJ or something. 2 aces left in the deck , my little hand is live.
Flopped a flush 
♠_cry:
now get this .. for my 4 table session 1000 hands
78s 5 times win 100%
TT 10 times win 40%
AJs 6 times win 16.67%
AKo 13 times win 46.15% -15 cents lost !! AK SUCKS WORST HAND EVER
AJs is a really crap hand -67 cents lost
AA no comment flop 3 aces lose to flush .
anyways check this hand, and why AK sucks
I mean im pretty sure the guy has AK , worst case he has AA but we cant be in fear of AA every time someone raises right
So when i flop 2 pair I know he has top pair top kicker, 2 pair beats 1 pair , I have to get him all in on the flop because a donks love AK .
Anyways this is how you play poker. Cept for the min raise , maybe I could raise say 6 cents 8 is a bit of a waste cause all i had was a low pair of 10s easily beaten unless I hit 10 ... which I did .. and set vs set means I win lots of money
The push on turn was probably stupid after seeing river .. I was trying to push the big stack off his flush draw .. which he wouldve made but i get f ull house ... oh well having just lost with 333 to AAA i wasnt going to let him suck out on river cheap.
And this is how you get lucky. Im thinking low pairs are really dangerous against suck outs like this , maybe I need to fold them more.
Retarded hands 
I get trapped with an OESD in this hand against 2 maniacs who make me look sane , the turn play is ugly and for some stupid reason I moved all in instead of just calling since I had implied pot odds to call , Still this is a break even call at best if the big stack pays me off on river which im sure he would have ...
The pot is $6 add the $4 I have left .. so I could win $10 if I call.
im going to win 1 in 5 here so $2 is the correct price . But I could have saved $2.30 by just calling and seeing river . wow big error there .
Then my aces get set mined, man I can't believe how easy the river is to lay down but I just couldnt do it doh!!! another buy in lost to jacks ..... 
Don't fall in love with AA 
SERIOUSLY FOLD THE RIVER FFS
Oh well I got that buy in back against this poor donkey ..
I set mine the set miner .. who was trying to set mine me . ♠_cool:
Here is an example of how good AJ AK or AQ is
If you fold AK AQ AJ you will win money not lose money.
Card dead for 105 hands , missing sets , donked out of a flush draw by someone who bluffed with As Jh when I had Ks Js in 3 way pot , I folded the flop board paired pffft typical , donk bluffed off half his stack to a guy with pocket 10s
...
This is the only hand I won in 105 hands that is worth showing...
Give me the chance to bluff and I take it especially if you have mouse picture on your head.
