1 hand and couple of quickies

[ssmallz]

Game is commerce 9/18

First the quickies

1) KJs in LP after a few limpers is a raise evertime right? Even more so when the button is tight and willing to fold most often

2) Q9s in CO after 4 limpers, easy limp right?

Here's the hand

I'm sitting in late MP or early LP. 1 bad limper and asian maniac raises. He just sat down and came from a PL game. He's raised the last 3 hands in a row and has shown down some very questionable holdings. I look down and see ATo and 3bet him hoping to get it HU or 3 way. Button another loose player calls 3 cold, sb and BB both call, limper calls maniac 4 bets, I call as does the rest of the field.

Flop 257 2 spades, I have no spades. Checked to maniac who bet, I call, rest of table calls.

My decision her was between calling and raising, I felt a raise would do me no good since the pot is so big that I won't get it HU against the maniac.

Turn 4 spades Checked to me, I check Button checks

River Tc sb leads, maniac calls, I think for a while and call button calls.

How'd I do?
