Best +EV move vs Maniac

CruS · #1 10-14-2007, 08:24 PM

This villain is weird. He is very aggressive, 3bets somewhat light but he also calls down pretty light.
39/27/4.0

What is my move on the flop? I am fairly sure I am ahead (like 95%) but he might have air or a good hand. There are some turns I hate, and checking a turn and give him a chance to check behind to catch the river.

What is the best +EV more here? Try to get him to bluff the turn or just shove and hope he calls with Tx?

Since he 3bets light think about a 4bet here preflop.

I think you should go ahead and shove this flop before a Q

K or A hit and you have to make a harder decision.

allin now. or i guess allin on the turn. (c/shove that is).

You cant call this preflop. Too many scare boards to come.

I don't think your hand is strong enough to slowplay against a maniac because any A K or Q is going to make your decision tough. I just raise his $8.4 to $25 and call a trivial shove. You should let the maniac hang himself when you have huge hands like a set/boat or a nut straight/flush. Here just play your standard game, I also like a 4-bet PF if you know he 3-bets light. However, alot of guys w/ redic 27 PFR get that stat from min raising PF a ton, and might have a much tighter 3-betting PFR range. You need to watch him for a read on what his 3-bet PF means. He might use his image to get big action on super premiums.

Set value and the chance that he may be ahead anyway makes this an automatic call for me. Leak? Levelled?

Oh wait I misread it and thought UTG cold-called - nevermind.
