2 hands against a maniac

[Daddy Warbucks]

Villain is 56/25. He's been gettting into a lot of pots with me, and betting pot A LOT.

Hand 1 i flat called the flop because SB was a complete donk. I was 50/50 between calling/raising.

All in all i have very little experience playing against maniacs, and would appreciate the advice.

[the machine]

im not folding the AA. the 99 is thin and im comfortable with a fold or a call and i wouldnt fault it whichever line you took

[Daddy Warbucks]

The 78 into a 31 pot doesn't give you the heebies?

[morphball]

Grunch - get all your money in on both hands

[the machine]

Kxh and hes shoving. yeah it sucks but where ahead of so much of his range. also donkeys use this play as a "ok he just called me on the flop so he probably has a queen and hes trying to trap me. King on hte turn ZOMG i can bet him off his hand now." and if he has a king in his hand he now has teh nutz man. its top pair.

so yeah im calling there as [censored] as it is

A huge overbet is rarely anything less then the nuts at NL100. Still he is a maniac so I don't know, I probably still fold though, get a better spot.

[Daddy Warbucks]

What do you think of the flop flat call?

[Stealthy]

I felt both always against a maniac and expect to win both the vast majority of the time. Flop call in hand 1 is OK but not if you are planning to fold at any point.

Just saw he re-raised pre in hand 2 so the fold is OK given you are a little deeper but still close.

[DrewTheHead]

Two tough spots but you have to take make a stand. I think the second hand has more value then the first IMO. Both look fishy IMO.

[ValarMorghulis]

I insta-call both against a maniac

Edit: Especially hand 1
