I strongly considered 4 betting pf as his 3 betting range was def very wide but then id be turning my hand into a bluff IMO since although he was def a maniac,
he didnt seem ridiculously loose. Flop play is same as pf, i coudlve reraised and commited myself but again id be turning my hand into a bluff, so i opted
to call and c/shove almost any turn knowing his range is wide open here. When he makes that bet on the turn, i felt like there was no way he had a 7 or a 9
betting that big and i dont know that he always bets his overpairs on such a bad turn, anyways is this a muck? Do some muck the flop? cause calling flop without planning to call turn against this guy is pretty retarded IMO

c/c flop and c/shoving turn is pretty much the same thing id say, except i prob get some more out of him in fact, since if i bet flop - i bet 20, he raises to 40 i raise to 80, he folds his air and we stack off against his better hands, here im getting 65 out of him and shoving the turn is cause there is so little behind that he isnt gonna do anything on the river if hes bluffing IMO. In retrospect, id prob lead flop, flat a raise and c/c his imminent turn shove.
