Default The downside of playing against maniacs

This guy was a total lagtard. I realize this is less than 1 BB for some of you, please swing your epeen in some other thread.

Party Poker 0.50/1 Hold'em (6 max, 2 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

Preflop: Hero is BB with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Button posts a blind of $0.50.
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button (poster) 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero caps</font>, Button calls.

Flop: (8 SB) 7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button caps</font>, Hero calls.

Turn: (8 BB) Q[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button caps</font>, Hero calls.

River: (16 BB) T[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button caps</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 24 BB

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Button has Ad Jc (straight, ace high).
Hero has Kh Ks (three of a kind, kings).
Outcome: Button wins 24 BB. </font>

Playing against maniacs is xEV because you make money from your opponents mistakes in Poker.

after he reraises your first raise before the flop comes, arent you a little worried that he might have AA? i would just call to be safe.

I'm pretty sure the "scared of AA" comment was sarcasm. If not, please reread the Lagtard part of the OP.

well that all depends. Say Imsakid has one the last few hands, which means he's now up a few bets. He's probably [censored], right?
