wanted to use blockbets to come cheaply to river
What about the min raise he could have anything with his stats here, draws an A or pure air.
Didnt know how to play here Fold/Call/raise

Maybe he bluffed me out but could i find a call here?

That river card isn't my first choice, but I think you should call a maniac's pot-sized bet on this river.

You only have to be best 1/3 of the time to break even, and you do have top pair.

Playing pot control on the turn basically seems okay to me. If I decided to go that route, I might do it with a check instead of with a 1/3 pot bet, but I guess it doesn't matter that much.

Villain's line, by the way (turn min-raise/river bomb) actually represents a fair amount of strength, but he may think his A2 is good, since you slowed down on the turn, and also he is a maniac.

I'd bet more on flop and turn, then make a blocking bet on the r river for 1/3 of the pot.

pot flop, more on turn, and after he raises the turn i'm reraising. We don't pot control against maniacs
