Crazy Mike is in the House

I played with Crazy Mike again last night. I put a serious dent into his chip-stack after he put an early beating on me. I ended up +2220 in 4.5 hours of play with him. We were playing short-handed 40/80 and as usual every hand he played it was automatically 3-bets before the flop. He's a character, likely very insecure with himself. When we were 3-handed, whenever he was the button he would live-straddle. I was on his left, making me the small-blind every time he was the button and I was first to act. If it got back to him unraised it was an automatic 3-bet and then a bet on the flop was always coming. Even if you check-raised him, he was calling no matter what. Most hands he didn't even look at his hand until after the turn card hit. It's next to impossible to outplay or get a read on a guy who hasn't even looked at his hand yet. When he's running good, get out of his way. When the cards run true, take the chips and run.
