Re: Playing a low pocket pair against a total looney (and a solid TAG)
Everyone is saying to bet the flop instead of c/r, but I don't think it is as obvious as people are suggesting.
Here are a few things to consider:
1. You have to figure that a large percentage of BB's range contains an Ace.
2. BB will bet an Ace on this flop.
3. The maniac is going to c-bet this flop like 95% of the time.
If you check, and BB bets, I'm thinking you can dump it regardless of what maniac does.
Was this a rainbow flop?
On 2nd thought, I think leading the flop is by far best. #2 above isn't really true. Plus, you can find a fold if BB continues at all (either raises or just calls).
