2 hands against a maniac
Villain is 56/25. He's been gettting into a lot of pots with me, and betting pot A LOT.
Hand 1 i flat called the flop because SB was a complete donk. I was 50/50 between calling/raising. Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.50/$1 5 players Converter Stack sizes: UTG: $99.50 Hero: $209.90 Button: $114.60 SB: $183.10 BB: $97.80 Pre-flop: (5 players) Hero is CO with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] UTG folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $3.5</font>, Button folds, SB calls, BB calls. Flop: Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($10.5, 3 players) SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">BB bets $10.5</font>, Hero calls, SB folds. Turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($31.5, 2 players) <font color="#cc0000">BB bets $78</font>, Hero folds. Uncalled bets: $78 returned to BB. Results: Final pot: $31.5 Hand 2, he really hadn't 3 bet me much. How many people think this is a call? Full Tilt Poker No Limit Holdem Ring game Blinds: $0.50/$1 6 players Converter Stack sizes: Hero: $180.35 UTG+1: $97.80 CO: $186 Button: $159.40 SB: $107.70 BB: $100 Pre-flop: (6 players) Hero is UTG with 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $3.5</font>, 2 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $12</font>, 2 folds, Hero calls. Flop: 2[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] ($25.5, 2 players) Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $25.5</font>, Hero calls. Turn: 4[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($76.5, 2 players) Hero checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $76.5</font>, Hero folds. Uncalled bets: $76.5 returned to Button. Results: Final pot: $76.5 All in all i have very little experience playing against maniacs, and would appreciate the advice. |

Re: 2 hands against a maniac
im not folding the AA. the 99 is thin and im comfortable with a fold or a call and i wouldnt fault it whichever line you took

Re: 2 hands against a maniac
The 78 into a 31 pot doesn't give you the heebies?

Re: 2 hands against a maniac
Kxh and hes shoving. yeah it sucks but where ahead of so much of his range. also donkeys use this play as a "ok he just called me on the flop so he probably has a queen and hes trying to trap me. King on hte turn ZOMG i can bet him off his hand now." and if he has a king in his hand he now has teh nutz man. its top pair.
so yeah im calling there as [censored] as it is |

Re: 2 hands against a maniac
A huge overbet is rarely anything less then the nuts at NL100. Still he is a maniac so I don't know, I probably still fold though, get a better spot.

What do you think of the flop flat call?

Re: 2 hands against a maniac
I felt both always against a maniac and expect to win both the vast majority of the time. Flop call in hand 1 is OK but not if you are planning to fold at any point.
Just saw he re-raised pre in hand 2 so the fold is OK given you are a little deeper but still close. |

Re: 2 hands against a maniac
Two tough spots but you have to take make a stand. I think the second hand has more value then the first IMO. Both look fishy IMO.
