25NL: overpair vs maniac

[homeslice]

Villian had over $200, when I got to the table, and he's a real nut. Literally plays every hand. Postflop, he's willing to see the turn with any draw or third pair. I know my play on the turn is cautious. Do I call his river bet?

Turn has to be bet, he's calling with Qx/7x/5x/club/gutshot right? Is he a maniac or loose-passive station? Er, nevermind, maniac bets turn 1,000,000% of the time.

He's both. He'll randomly call or if he feels like it bet 3x the pot... He's tough to gague

Because he's a maniac I think his check behind you on the turn is very suspicious, as he is probably betting there with anything but a flush. That being said, I think it's a good idea for you to fold on the river, especially with it not being a very good card for you either.

I think I would call here, as he may be betting just a pair. He's probably expecting you to fold after you gave up on turn and river.

Bet turn seeing as how you have over pair + nut flush draw. As played though, call river.

Jesus christ, why do people slow down when they have a monster against a maniac? Bet. Bet some more. Bet again. Bet the turn, wow.
