Re: maniac comes alive on the turn
I agree that 6 hands is enough to tell you somebody's probably a maniac.
I generally advocate more aggression than most against maniacs. IMO, people are too concerned with forcing correct folds on those who don't fold before the river. And just because it's uncomfortable to call down a 3bet doesn't mean that raising isn't the most +ev play.
This particular hand looks like a pretty easy calldown though. You have everyone's favorite overcard on the board and a 4straight, so you're much less likely to be good when you're 3bet as opposed to say a 3flush board when you have top pair. G/L
