Calling a Maniac's raise...

[YamiYugi]

After I flop top Pair, J's with a low kicker and the maniac continuation bets. What should i do?

This hand is fairly weak, but the guy is a huge stack maniac that won due to a luck streak.

I guess you call.

If you weren't willing to trap with TPNK, then why are you playing Jx versus a preflop raise in the first place?

I guess probably he open-raised from the SB or something and you defended. Anyway, raising his c-bet is another option.

Oh yeah, is it generally profitable to raise here?

And if he pushes, i'm in a tough situation, cuz maniacs push with nothing. But then you're never too sure.

if he pushes ur not in a tough situation..you fold cause way more ofen they will have u beat then not with ur top pair [censored] kicker
