Playing TP against Maniacs

lanyi · #1 10-20-2007, 03:07 AM

The villain is this case is 41/21/2 a real maniac. Plays any ace, any suited cards any cnnected cards (even off suit) of any rank and any pair. My question is whetehr I am over valuing my TP against this type of player when he shows this much of continued agression.

Ultimate Bet 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (9 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img].
Hero raises, 7 folds, UTG calls.

Flop: (7.40 SB) 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG checks, Hero bets, UTG raises, Hero calls.

Turn: (5.20 BB) 3[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero calls.

River: (7.20 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (2 players)
UTG bets, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 9.20 BB

Am I making a mistake contnuing to call down his raises on 4th and 5th street?

Your read is unclear. You say he is a maniac, but then you describe a loose player. A maniac is someone who bets/raises a lot pre- and post-flop with weak hands, and often bluffs way too much. If this is truly a post-flop maniac, then you will want to be betting more post-flop.

You can't be thinking of folding turn or river?

Call flop, raise turn, call down if 3-bet is usually my line against a known aggressive player.

If he is truly a maniac, as Boogieman Buzz describes him, 3 bang that flop and don't stop.

I never thought of folding because I had A hand (not great but a hand none the less) and I had went to the SD with him beofre and won with less.
