PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (9 handed) internettexasholdem.com (http://www.internettexasholdem.com)

saw flop|saw showdown

UTG+1 ($2.32)
MP1 ($4.94)
MP2 ($2.95)
MP3 ($5)
CO ($10.15)
Button ($0.28)
SB ($1.33)
BB ($4.82)
Hero ($4.87)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with Q/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. MP3 posts a blind of $0.02.
Hero raises to $0.06, 3 folds, MP3 (poster) calls $0.04, CO raises to $0.12, 2 folds, BB calls $0.10, Hero calls $0.06, MP3 calls $0.06.

I knew I would get reraised if I raised here so I only raised 3x's the blind.

Villian is 96/70 and is running lucky.

Flop: ($0.49) 6/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif (4 players)
BB checks, Hero checks, MP3 checks, CO bets $0.06, BB calls $0.06, Hero raises to $0.76, MP3 folds, CO calls $0.70, BB folds.

Turn: ($2.07) 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif (2 players)
Hero bets $1, CO calls $1.

River: ($4.07) 8/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 players)
Hero checks, CO bets $1.32, Hero calls $1.32.

I checked the river hoping he would bluff at it. Getting 4:1 I knew I was calling but didn't have the balls to raise it. Anyone push it all in on this river?

Any part of the hand I should play differently??

Thanks for any help. These players are the hardest for me play against. They force you to gamboool!

Final Pot: $6.71

You didn't really say what kind of maniac he is. There are types that are just crazy lag that will call down anything and there are those who are LAG but will fold to pressure.

If its the former, I like a crai on the turn. Otherwise, your line is fine to induce bluff.

This guy tries to bet and raise you until you fold to his pressure.

I'm assuming he is super aggro post flop as well. Bet more on the turn and get it all in somewhere.

Thanks for the help. I wasn't sure if I should be looking to get my whole stack in the middle with just TPTK.

I guess against this player, my hand is a monster.

Villian mucked A2o at showdown. PAHUD is the [censored]!!

96/70? I wonder what is holding him back on the other 4%?

It is strange that he did not really try that here, was he slowplaying to give flavor to his game?

I would try to get him in on the turn with C/R or just a bigger bet especially with a vulnerable hand like yours. If he calls you are happy, if he folds, at least he didn't draw out on you and you can count on him being in the next time you have cards...
