[BotOnTilt]

Villain in question is a maniac, 87/36/2.2 over about 100 hands.


In the same session I played a hand earlier with him:

In the hand above I thought I was ahead as I figured he'd raised anything that beats me except perhaps the flush, and I also thought that he wouldn't call with anything that I beat so I just checked behind on the river.

Then a few hands later we play the hand in question:

I know it would have made a lot of sense to reraise pf. Although I figured his pf raise would help to get the pot HU and that I would have easier decisions post flop once I know if there are a lot of over cards. Looking back though, I think I still should have raised.

The flop seemed fine, only one over card. His raise did bother me but I'm not folding to a minraise. The turn and river can't have helped him much, unless he happened to have A5 /56 for the straight or a back door flush - but even then his shove is weird. Do you call the river, and how would you play the hand?
