FT 10-20 SH River Decision w/ a Set: Both str8 & flush draws got there
 

Villain B is playing maniacially, raising and reraising liberally preflop and on the flop. He seems more reasonable on the big bet streets, however.

I have just lost a large pot, and table may think I am steaming a little.

if this is the normal 8/16 maniacs that I've run into they have two pair or A8 more often than a straight or a flush. Easy raise and call a 3-bet IMO

i would 3-bet the turn against most maniacs.

I think he has two pair much more often than he has a straight so a raise looks good to me
