Struggling against thinking, observant maniac
Our maniac is 70/26/4.3 after 660 and goes to show down 24% of the time.
So this guy had been running over the table. He was playing so many hands preflop whether the pot was raised or not. And donking constantly and double barreling. If you raised his donks, he would often donk again on Turn or call you down with any piece. This made pot control very difficult, and besides that I was running cold: never connecting with the flop and having to fold constantly to his donks, since bluffs wouldn't work. He was very good at reading lines that came off as weak (or weak timing tells, like quick bets by tilters) and playing back at you and would get very aggressive in big pots. My general question is, how do you play against someone like this? The only real pot I won was when he pushed on an unlikely paired board, and I bluff-raised him off his hand on the river. Here's an example hand: I think my hand could easily be good when he min-raises the flop, and I felt like I had to stop folding every time to his donks and min-raises/min-cr's. My instinct told me on the Turn to check-raise...all-in? ...but I didn't.

Re: Struggling against thinking, observant maniac
why are you only calling when you hit the golden card on the turn, lead or c/r him out of his seat.
in general c-bet a little less often, stack him when you hit, sometimes peel with overs/under pair etc.. this is not rocket science yo |

Re: Struggling against thinking, observant maniac
I would not be C-betting this flop. If he bets I may peel or fold. on the turn, I think you need to raise, especially since his bet is so weak, which makes me think he has a part of the board and is less likely on air.
