Here is a hand paraphrased from HGIYLH.

8 handed $20/40 online game. You raise black 9's in the CO. Button is a weak player who is loose both pre- and post-flop. Button cold calls. BB, a maniac, raises from the BB. We are told that although BB is a maniac he has reasonable pre-flop standards and may merely be three-betting with hands that are usually call-worthy. Hero and Button call.

9.5 SBs.

Flop: J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

Maniac bets, you raise, Button cold calls. Maniac now three bets and both Hero and button call.

9 BB's.

Turn: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Maniac bets. What's your plan?

I know the book says to fold here since Ive read it a few times. I think folding is the right play unless you are positive this maniac will 3bet the flop with A-high even though he has 2 people committed on the flop. Once two people are committed on the flop even super-lags wont 3bet here unless they have 99 beat. And when you factor in that the guy behind you can easily have Jx, I think the turn is a fold.
