don't want to look strong but you minraise? hmm ...

Re: Cold calling on draw vs maniac
 

1. Raise preflop after everyone limps
2. Fold preflop after raise and re-raise
3. On the flop you flat called a re-raise with a player to act -- if the BB pushes, do you call?
4. Raise more on turn that min bet screams strength and you are giving him pot odds to draw to a flush or straight
5. River is fine

reload pf.

limping pf is fine (on button), I think, if this is full ring. 6 max, you might want to raise it up.

I want to know something about BB's donk before I make a decision to cold call a maniac's raise.

Turn -- min-raise there makes me want to cry.

Im not thrilled about cold calling on the flop, only because if this is a maniac battle and it could get RRed behind you. In addition, you are only drawing to one nut straight, the ignorant end of another one.

All in all im not sure about the price you are getting on the hand. I might shove the flop or just fold, depending on reads of BB
