$6 NLTRN: Q6s calls down
This hand was from one of the most frustrating matches I've played. I was almost completely card dead, and my opponent was very aggressive/fishy. If he called my PFR, he would donk the flop 100% (usually for about 2/3 pot). Also, he would keep betting on the turn and river. I tried calling the flops with overcards and floating some, but usually I wouldn't hit anything on the turn and would end up folding to his inevitable turn bet. I raised once on the flop, to try to see if by raising I could get him to slow down (I had second pair weak kicker, the best hand I'd had postflop until that point), and he called. He then called my turn bet and when I checked behind on the river, he took it down with top pair.
Also, if he didn't call PF, he would almost always 3-bet, and I almost always had something like K6s or Q9o. At this point he had only folded twice PF (both times when I raised w/ AA). When in position, he raised almost every hand to 3 BB. So I decided that I needed to take a stand at some point. Was this okay, or should I have raised earlier or folded the river?

Re: $6 NLTRN: Q6s calls down
This is perfectly fine. I don't like raising at any point postflop....if he has a hand and pushes we are put in a very difficult spot, and if he doesn't have a hand we might push him out by raising. Just call down and take advantage of his over-aggressive tendencies.

Re: $6 NLTRN: Q6s calls down
If playing against a maniac, the adjustment is to tighten up and become passive letting him bet your strong hands for you.
Also you should have tried seeing if he would fold to raise when you had air if he called just shut down and wait, not much else to do. I think your play is fine but I would have raised, It really was just a coincidence that when you raised him he had top pair most of the time he had nothing. |

Re: $6 NLTRN: Q6s calls down
These guys are very aggravating to play but you should really just open up your calldown range. I also know what you mean about guys that seem to be super aggressive except when you have a hand, they just check/fold. Raising is pointless in this hand (postflop I mean). I prolly would have played it the same.
