Default I\'m inexperienced in these situations, NL50 vs maniac

Villian is 55/27 over 60 hands, minraising and 2.5BB a lot preflop. Probably cbetting about 90% of the time, mostly just be hitting UB's pot button.

Preflop is this a fold? I had yet to see him reraise before the flop, and he's pretty crazy so I figured my IO were pretty good here.

I am lost on the flop.
(converter not working)

Hero: $52.75
Villain: $43.20

Hero UTG dealt J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villian posts BB of $.50

Hero raises to $2, 4 folds, Villian reraises to $6.25, Hero calls $4.25

Flop: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] (~12.50)

Villian pushes for $36.95, Hero ???

1.Switch tables

2. I dont like raising Pf with J9s with a maniac behind me.It is the kind of hand you might want to limp in with in late position after several limpers but not now.

3. The most satisfying way to beat these guys is to flop a great hand and let him do the betting until the turn or river and then take over. Doesnt allways happen so switch tables and find some passive opponents.

I suppose this is true. I guess I'm just very used to opening J9 at these tables that it seemed the right play at the time.

Or at least sit to his left so you have position. If you plan on sitting to his right, then play passively and let him do the betting for you.

this happens so often its ridiculous, you have a maniac at a table and yet you wanna get it all in with TPNK, if youre going to be staying at this table just wait for a big hand to roll around and pick him off them, TPNK is not a big hand.

I Fold here to marginal to know where you are standing even against a Maniac. Im not sure if i want to call with J9s OOP to such a huge raise I think i would have folded. Even if you hit a pair you dont know where you are standing since your kicker is too bad. If this would have been a multiway pot I think a call could be ok.

well there is not many hands you can beat, there is no obvious draw possibility on the board for a raised pot, so he cannot be semi-bluffing a draw. he might have trips, or an overpair, you cannot even beat AJ-KJ-QJ, but considering he is a maniac he might also have a blank.
Just be patient, wait for your moment to bust him.

I would never, never play J9s UTG with a maniac sitting at the table. What will happen is exactly what's up here. You may catch a vulnerable top pair with a so-so kicker. And with a maniac in the hand, You have to make up Your mind whether to play that hand for Your entire stack.

That's a big, a very big nono to me!
