Dear god man, checking this turn is suicide...

Who is going to bet your hand for you?

How about the player to your left who was described as "the table maniac"? This is a great spot to trap the field for two bets on the turn. When it checks around, the free card rarely costs you the pot. Anybody with outs to beat kings up wouldn't have folded the turn anyway. The only real question is which line gets more money in on average and in this spot, it's the check-raise.

Bobby,

You make an excellent point. I hadn't realized that UTG was the table maniac.

If he is in fact that, the limp reraise needs to be taken with a grain of salt.

Also, if he is such a maniac, isn't it worth considering betting and hoping to get raised, so we can three-bet? Or does this become a bet-control issue, in which case we don't want to open ourselves up to putting in 4 bets on the turn?
