I concede early in the hand if it appears I don't have an advantage - meaning I toss it even if I think the hands are roughly equal because I can't control the size of the pot and i hate just check/calling/praying.

This sounds a little weak-tight, but without knowing exactly what you're throwing away, it's hard to know whether you're giving up too much.

[/ QUOTE ] I think the problem is I have some mental block to check/calling or just calling down a super aggressive player. So when I have only a decent hand like 73A63 on 5th st. and my opponent showing A2k suited bets, i feel stupid calling him down. I would fold a small pot here with a clear conscious against a solid player, who bet into a respectable board .. but the maniac could have complete garbage, a pair of kings, a flush with a better low draw, a gutshot big straight draw, or a wheel draw. It puts me in defensive position, which I think is to the maniac's advantage.
