Hitting TP on the turn vs a maniac

fabadam · #1 10-19-2006, 07:39 PM

Another hand from a session review.
MP2 villain is a near-maniac, with something like 64/30 preflop and an amazingly low folding percentage postflop. He's folding out a lot of opponents post-flop with his aggression. We've seen howdown of several total junk hands already, but still he doesn't seem a total idiot, just likes the gamble and the fight for who has the biggest balls.

Preflop: fabadam is Button with A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP3 raises, 1 folds, fabadam 3-bets, 2 folds, MP3 calls.

Flop: (7.50 SB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP3 checks, fabadam bets, MP3 calls.

An autonatic c-bet for me, even if I know the dude won't fold, or maybe especially so.

Turn: (4.75 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
MP3 bets, fabadam ???

I'm interested to hear what to do here. Assume villain is a LAG, but not a totally random one. If that's too vague, just tell me what you do here.

By the description of villan it sounds like a bluff at the third club is very likely.

So I raise here, for value. The A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] makes for a very useful backup in case he does have a real hand.

I think I'm just calling a 3-bet and c/c river on non club.

But then, what does he check/call the flop with however? This seems a little strange for someone as aggressive as you describe. Is it possible he had a genuine draw here? (either clubs or 9T) If so I'm probably taking the same line I said before, but I'm not as sure why.

Yes, you have a solid raise here, lotsa pot equity.

My favorite opponent... make like Hans and Frans and pump, it up.

LOL, my name is Frans. (Honest)

FWIW, I called here, fearing a flush or slowplayed set.
River was a brick, checked to me and I bet now, villain called, showing down Q7o.
