Lucky Guy.... Plan A.
$1 MTT 3,000 entries
His game plan for EVERY hand.
PF 3 x BB
Flop - ½ pot
Turn – ½ pot
River – all-in

Ten hands in and the Guy has 4 x the average stack and has been called twice on the river, both of which he won by hitting 2 pairs.

Hand 11- the Guy has 22 flop comes J8K, 9Q other guy calls his river all-in bet with AK (reluctantly.

We all pretty much assumed he was at it, now we all knew for sure. All I could say up to that point was; well played, the Guy has some guts. He had a game plan, and has pulled it off.


What happens next is an amazing run of luck.

Now he changes to plan B for every hand. I think he was upset about not winning with his 22!

PF – Limp but if someone has raised then he would reraise all-in. If after his limp there was a raise then he would reraise all-in. We all wanted a piece of the action and were queuing up to take him on. The next 6 hands were all in PF.
Hand 12 Donk has A3 v 99............ And wins
Hand 13 Donk has 62s v AQ.......... and wins
Hand 14 Donk has 7J v KK............and wins
Hand 15 Donk has A2 v AK......... and wins
Hand 16 Donk has 3Q v QK......... and wins
Hand 17 Donk has 75 v TT...........and wins........ I AM KOd

The Donk has KOd 8 players in 17 hands.

Tournament chip leader (I would think it was temporary).

I can honestly say that getting knocked out didn’t bother me in the slightest, in fact by the time my turn came around, I was pleased to get away from what I considered to be a horror show!

I wonder if he had a plan C?.....LMAO

GL at the tables Guys.

i've seen this type of play - "the maniac" sometimes it seems like they can't lose. and you really hate them especially when your playing on your best and waiting for the coerrect cards and position and they're free to play anyway they want......:mad: :mad:
that's why because of these maniacs every now and then i allow myself to play recklessly just for the heck of it, with no concerns. of course i only play low limit. but if i had money to throw around i would probably become a maniac myself, hahahahahahahahaha.
gl and peace :)

Just look him up on sharkscope and laugh at how much he is down.


Without exception.

Every time I run into one of these, I hit Sharkscope and confirm my suspicion ...... BIG red numbers.

They're just goofing around, and when it works they must laugh their butts off.

I did that yesterday.

i was playing TAG for the most part in the FT canada freeroll, down to about 40 players. I have a bigger than average stack, get AK and raise 4x, get called by another medium-big stack, flop a Kxx board, bet, get called, I shove, he calls with K8o, and wins with two pair, knocking me out. :(

I was so p@#^^$$% off, I then played in another freeroll and decided that I would be the one playing Kx, and any other junk, just raising like crazy. I quckly built up a huge stack, from a series of lucky breaks, but then I fell back into TAG style and got knocked out anway :D

The LAG / maniac style can work against very tight-passive players, but if they play back at you, it's time to hit the brakes, which some of the real maniacs will refuse to do, and is how they usually get knocked out

In this world are a lot of donkey's. They don't now anything else...-all in-. They just lose money, a lot of them deposit money constantly on the poker rooms and they just have some luck .

I have a friend, when he takes his salary he deposit a half on internet, and I cashout. That is the difference between that player, and a regulary player. Good luck with donks ;));))

Certainly seems like the LAG can snap off a string of wins before it catches up. Its knowing when to back down after playing LAG that might work. Alternatively, you could say that the LAG plays for fun only and this form of entertainment could be considered quite cheap at the small stakes. Not everyone will play poker to win money. The entertainment value can be huge...
