First time playing at Party since I started playing 2 years ago. I haven't played ANY poker in a while and I'm afraid I'm very rusty. Will post several hands from this session. I'm playing $25 since I haven't been able to get enough mony into Neteller and I'm not comfortable on this skin yet.

I've heard a lot about the maniacs on Party and this was the first time I met one. He was immediatly on my right which has its benefits as well as drawbacks. His vpip was about 50% and he would pretty much max raise every hand he played preflop.
