Default AK hits TP against maniac...I\'m lost

Guy is 70/30/4.4 after 50 or so hands. I don't remember anything specific, but he is playing very aggressively (and usually stupidly).


I'm sure my line is horrible. Please correct me. I was trying to get as much money in the pot as possible against this guy, and figured he would do all the betting for me.

If your intention was to get it all in by calling it down, why not just 3 bet the flop all in.

It seems fine to me. You're in position, so if he ever stops betting, you can do it for him.

don't think you played it bad, but i think pushing the flop or even the turn is better. if he's terrible and has anything he'll call, you're just giving his a9 a chance to suckout.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. If he has A9 and is terrible and will call anything, a push on the flop or turn will not prevent his A9 from sucking out.

FWIW, there's sort of a contradiction in that second sentence [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
