Default Re: $575 all in on turn...do i call?

If he's a maniac, he's unlikely to be folding top and bottom pair on such a dry board. Reraise preflop and try to get it all-in on this flop. As played I think I generally outright shove the turn hoping for a fold but carrying plenty of outs even if behind, the check-call is an ok play if you think that he will happily get it all-in here with drawing and one pair hands, but generally you should try to make it easy for yourself by openshoving.

I think the flop is the worst mistake though. I hate check-call here, I either lead out and 3-bet all-in or check-raise. Which you do depends on your villain's postflop tendencies but if he is such a maniac I prefer the lead out as he is often raising your lead with air and can end the hand there and then by putting it all-in.
