50NL AQs against maniac

[Grumbo]

You should be beating his range if he 3 bets hands like JJ+, AQ+. Flop bet did look like c bet until he called your raise. Looked more like an overpair or A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] when he called. Turn check might be for pot control if he thought you were semibluffing with a flush draw on the flop. I might take a shot at betting $18 - $24 on the river given this range.

I would check to him and be inclined to call a river bet, I hate betting on the river here.

I think check-call is probably the best way to approach the river. I can't figure out if his check on the turn is because he's worried that you made some kind of straight/flush/set, or because he has a huge hand and hopes you catch up. AK/AQ of spades are the hands I fear most, and checking controls the size of his bet here so that you aren't throwing in a lot of money the times you are behind.

You must check call the river as played. I prefer a check-call on flop to check-raise.
