Default Re: 1/2 (6 max). Am I a maniac?

Hmmm. Preflop isn't great, better with a hand like 5789 with the gap at the bottom, but that's not a huge deal. I think your flop line is best, but once you've been called by two short-stacks all-in (now making the pot protected) AND by the other big stack, you've got to be supremely worried. It's a very dangerous board and you only have 3 outs to the nuts. On the turn, you hit the 3rd nuts and it's pretty likely you're beat somewhere, so the only point of betting the turn is to get value from drawing hands. You have hit the turn, so you need to bet, but as the pot is protected you really don't need to bet very much. That 1/3rd pot bet is probably about right but I think you can tone that down to $50 even because you're very very rarely going to get bluff-raised by a weaker hand. You OBV need to fold to the all-in.
