I understand what you're saying, but we're also talking about extremes. The guy is a maniac after 50, it's pretty clear he'll stay that way. Dealing with the maniacs or tight-passives is easy.
For what it's worth, I'm not comfortable with 30 hands on someone, and I'm pretty sure that not many people would be. Then again, I'm not saying I NEED MORE than 1000, I'm saying I don't know. I'm asking what other people are comfortable with.
