200NL HU cash FTP vs absolute maniac

r1base14 · #1 01-14-2007, 08:09 PM

Villain was running about 55/45/14 through 150 or so hands and loves to fire with air if i appear weak, even two barreling often, or raising smallish turn bets. I had pretty much had it with him, and had the utmost confidence that my K was good. Comments on all streets welcome. I will post results after some comments. See below:

no comments? I've been taking this line against HU LAG's and it has generally been VERY +EV. Does anyone else take this line against maniacs HU?

craise the turn for value

r1base14 · #4 01-14-2007, 10:08 PM

So you opt to checkraise the turn? What hands can we expect to extract value from there? PP's lower than KK and maybe some middle pairs/pair draws?

I don't like c/ring the turn against a maniac

I agree with your play. I guess he had a few outs (or perhaps air). I'd say the all in on the river puts him around 40 percent to have you beat, given your check. So call.

I thought that exactly, although I was a little more confident that he was trying to push me off a middle/weak king with his AI river bet. Good to know that I'm not a complete donk. FYI he has 8T offsuit for a rivered backdoor straight.....i went on tilt, but at least i shut off my computer first! lol

Thanks for the replies.

c/r turn is terrible.

Your line is fine.

Unless you know hes capable of making a triple barrel I dont think Im calling the river, your line looks pretty transparent IMO.

r1base14 · #10 01-15-2007, 01:33 PM

cwar, if my line is transparent, how do i extract value from my hand? Perhaps I should be bet/folding the river? as an FYI, i suspect his is perfectly capable of a triple barrel, especially a PSB on river to try to shove me off my weak/middle K.
