Weekend Happy Thread XI: The Rodomontade

[Finch]

The button here is a maniac. He likes to go all-in at any sign of weakness, but he's much more timid about putting his money in if someone else makes a large bet or raise.

I'm not really sure how well I played this, but the money got in the center, so I'm happy. The button and I both had large stacks, so the final pot was juicy. Since I had a good read, I was never particularly worried that I had the second best hand.
