Default Re: $60 - top 2p vs. psycho boy

I'd definitely lead the flop, planning to 3-bet, possibly all-in. I don't think I call this crazy all-in w/o a decent read that he'll do something like this w/ a hand I'm beating. I realize that there isn't much you trail (22, T9, the unlikely JJ/88), and that there are some good draws you're beating, but I don't think the risk-reward is worth it. Moves like this seem to be good hands more often than not**. But man, I have a hard time folding top two.

**(By more often than not, I admittedly mean a very small sample size. Twice this week in very similar situations I've seen the crazy over-bettor flip over the straight, apparently trying to chase out flush draws.)
