Couple of Spots against Bad Lag/Maniac

Dr_Doctr · #1 11-25-2007, 06:05 PM

Villian is super-aggro and loose. We have been involved in a lot of pots. He's been raising from the SB almost every time it's folded to him. The first and third hands here are for history only. For the first I didn't know he was a maniac. The third is to show how bad he is / how little credit he gives me - he called me with A-high in hand 3. What do you think of the fold in hand 2? In hand 4 what do you think of the general line? If he has a smaller pair I get value and can check behind on the river, or go for a thin value-bet. If he c/r me I can be pretty confident my hand isn't good. Would you play this differently? I can see several ways to play this hand and can't decide which is best. Comments welcome.
