Poker Maniacs Do Exist
Thought some of you might find this story interesting. I was at a local poker club a few months back and was playing in a 1/2 NL game. Seated at my table was a player than was well known in the club scene (and apparently he run's a couple local clubs). The max. buy-in for this game was $200. This guy was a complete maniac! He starts off playing every hand all-in. After a few hands, and everyone folding around to him, he decides that to entice a caller, he announces to the table that he will be going all-in blind. I can't remember what happened at this point, but he won a few hands, cleaning out his opponents and lost a few hands, and continued to rebuy over and over again. I'm thinking to myself, this is a dream come true and tonight is going to be a payday. After a couple more rotations, he calms down a bit and starts to call more frequently. At some point I get dealt KK and I smooth call. When play gets to him, he looks at me and decides to go all-in. Obviously I call, and he shows J5 suited, and of course he hits his flush. I make a quick trip to the bank machine and rebuy for the max. There are players at my table who are rebuying for $60 at a time once he cleans them out, and I never understood this. After a few hands I get AK and raise. Again he announces all-in (even after my raise) and I call and he shows complete garbage. I win two straight all-ins back-to-back and he is down about $2k on the night with no sign of letting up. After a couple more wins, the guy decides he has had enough and is getting bored, so he leaves the table with the promise of returning. I stuck around for a few more hours hoping he would return to the table but it never happened. I finished the night up a few hundred, but will never forget this guy who played like he had money to burn. Wish this happened more often!

Hooded PartyPoker sweatshirt, backwards WSOP baseball cap, mirrored fossilman sunglasses, under 25 years old and (for the bonus point) an extremely annoying attitude.
Wasn't that YOUR wardrobe I saw you in at the last Ryder?
I couldnt' wear my usual hat and sunglasses (oh and ipod) because pkrfce9 didn't have any that matched and that was the theme we agreed on the night before.
