umm cbet postflop, as played fold turn...as you played it quit poker forever after this hand.

Wait till you at least get a hand against a maniac. High card is not a hand.

[crushednuts]

Wait a minute...what just happened?? Why did you raise the turn but not bet the flop?

You gotta sell the guy a story that he can believe. He can't read you for a set here.. as played you are probably drawing dead and shouldn't even call his last 11

results oriented much?

Continuation bet the flop, or just check fold it. If villain is a crazy maniac, who will bluff in all sorts of spots, and will generally throw a lot of money in the pot with weak hands, why do you try to bluff him? You are essentially making his style of play correct, if you are going to stick your money in there with A-high.
