Screwed up pocket 10s

[Bill 1337]

UTG is a maniac donk that likes to min raise a lot. A few hands after this hand, I stacked him when he tried to bluff me with Q high when I flopped the nut flush. No stats since I'm using a mac.

With so much money going in preflop, I'm happy to commit to that flop. Given that UTG is a maniac, crai is my line of choice on the flop.

I would prefer to lead out into this flop with my overpair. I really think you're setting yourself up to get bluffed off when you C/C his flop bet. Bet around $14.50 on the flop and shut down to a raise.

As played, easy fold on the turn. It looks like AK or possibly KK got the best of you on the flop; if it was the former, you might have convinced him to fold with a flop bet before that K ever turned.

Against a maniac just check-raise all in on the flop. Too much risk of an overcard/heart hitting on turn.
