Re: How do you like to play against maniacs like this??

I wasn't trying to be snide at all. Sorry you took that way. You answered my question. However, I would want to play post flop with this guy and push on made hands of 99 - AA preflop.

Re: How do you like to play against maniacs like this??

That's a huge sacrifice. This is one hand. It doesn't define our strategy. You have a tremendous edge on this hand pre-flop that you can't sacrifice.

Re: NL200: I don\'t know how to play OOP in 3-bet pot.

I never know what to do in these spots. Check-fold? if i check and he checks behind, lead turn? check-raise? c-bet big? c-bet 1/2 pot? 2/3? so lost.

OP nailed it before he started. Mixing it up...

How many buyins have you lost and recovered?

I am on a bit of a bad run at the moment. I have been profitable for two years and am currently playing 200NL. During my move from dime to 200NL I have had several buyin swings.

So, to all you...

Re: NL200(6max)River decision with TPGK

Smaller bet on turn would have delivered same info... Split your turn bet on the turn and river and get there for same price.

Re: Theory question: leading into the pre-flop raiser

This is so read/player/flop texture dependent. A 1/3 to 1/2 bet is generally too small and will often be seen as a blocker. 2/3 to pot is ideal. Generally the drier the flop the better your odds...
