Reraise preflop and lead out on the flop. As played though, check raise on all in on the flop. If CO is someone who'll call you to the end with OESD, you want to charge him as much as possible.

I hadn't played enough hands with CO to know how he played. I think that was one of my problems with this hand. I expected to be heads up against a maniac I had reads on and when I wasn't, it through me for a bit of a loop.

At these stakes, its been my experience that someone is not going to put that much money into the pot PF with a KQ. So, I had a real hard time putting him on an OESD. I thought QQ AK or possibly AA or JJ.

I was also thinking it could be AJ. But I guess in any event, I probably should have gotten all of my chips in on the flop. Again though, since I had a hard time putting CO on KQ, I didn't view the board as very scary unless he held AA or JJ in which case I was already behind and would have gone broke anyway.

Just like PF, the flop didn't go as expected either. I didn't expect two callers to a 2/3 pot size bet. But, in this instance, if I was going to get all of my money in anyway, I should have done it right there rather than make a 2/3 pot size bet .....I guess.

FWIW, I don't like the donk bet.

If he puts that much money in the pot pf, he'll cb, even into two people.

I really, really hate the advice to re-pop pre.

OP's read is that villain is doing this a lot with crap - KQ on this occasion, 22+ on others, SC's on others, Ax on others and so forth - so why do we want to give him the chance to get away?

It's much, much better IMO to call pre when you have this read, then get it in as fast as possible post - probably crai, but I guess it depends on reads - and own KQ/22+/Ax/whatever.

The more I read responses and reflect on the hand, the more I think my play PF was correct. I think Chomp is right. I didn't want the BTN to get away from the hand so easily. I knew he was a maniac, I was to his left, and had been patiently waiting for a hand to make a play at him with.

I think the mistake in the hand was probably to not get all my money in on the flop.

Given the same circumstances, I think I would play PF the same way. The majority of the time, I end up heads up as I hoped against a maniac who I had been waiting to isolate.

Had I ended up heads up, I think the best play on the flop would probably have been to CRAI.

As it stands, I'm not sure about a CRAI against the two opponents. I think a lead out bet may have been my best bet on the flop, but I should have led AI rather than the 2/3 pot size bet. I might be wrong on that point though.

I'm wondering what the problem is, you got all the dollars in as more than a 50% favorite. PF is probably kind of questionable but I think is a pretty decent move at times because it disguises your hand well, as long as u are willing to risk the flop going multiway.
