I like the pre-flop 3-bet, but I think the flop is an easy check-fold. When you have a crazy image you make money by bluffing less and value betting the blood out of your opponents.

Betting the turn is spewage. The only way a bet would make sense is if you knew that anyone with a pair: (a) did not also have a diamond draw; and (b) had players left to act after you bet.

I"m sorry, I can't agree

I bet this again. We 3-bet preflop representing strength, we bet the flop with no resistant as far as I can tell noone has diamonds or a pair high enough to profitably call this turn.

I feel we take this pot down often enough with a bet to justify it

Anyone agree?

I can't agree. He has a maniac image right now. The way to make money against a maniac is check and call. Let him bluff his money away. Don't bet or raise to slow him down. If I'm one of your opponents I just let you bet and I call all the way if I have anything.

In fact, if I were UTG after witnessing your actions of the last several hands I'd have probably limped with AA.
