Default uhh eeh Maniac behind me

First couple of hands im only giving to give you my feel for Villian
He was running at 93/33/1.55

First hand I were I realized this guys was not your normal opponent. Pretty sure I could have got more value here. vs this opponets



After this hand he started reraising me every hand i folded twice then came



and




and finally the hand in question





With AT I really felt i was way ahead of his reraising range and considered 3betting for value, but Im pretty sure this villian would have called with his whole range so i just called planning on hitting a T or an A and go with it.

On the flop mostly because he bet small I still think i had the best hand but im weak-tight and hate putting money in with A high so i saw a turn.

Snapfired the turn..

I felt totally lost not only in this hand but in the situation. Would be nice to have position on him but it should still be profitable having a guy like that behind me?

Should i adjust by playing tighter preflop or should i limpcall any two or ?

I don't think that calling 3bets OOP with bad hands is a good adjustment to counter light 3betting. Just tighten up your opening range and widen your 4bet value range.

Stop calling 3 bets OOP and start raising them for value.

Just play your normal game preflop and bet 4 value like... a maniac or something postflop, if you hit something reasonable.
Don't play oop /w bad hands vs. an opponent, who is very hard to play, cause he's hyper-aggro and loose.

And don't open /w ATo or AJo in EP in FR Never ^^

Default tx for the replies :)

I think limpcalling with small pp for instance is actually quite good.

(i hate this and didnt even consider it)

Because setmining vs a guy that propably will call a check-raise and then call Turn and River on like K72 6 9 with A4 should be pretty +ev.

It might also be better with a hand like AQ,AK because i think villian will call a 4b and almost all flops without and A K or Q

Still my biggest mistake here was not to sit out and then take seat 7 - getting behind villian

ps Im going to post a hand were i got in trouble after raising AJ SUITED utg later
