Hello sirs,

Villain (MP2) feels like a maniac. PT gives me 35/9/3.6 for 330 hands. He doesn't seem like a good player, but he is very aggressive and I think he likes to play for stacks.
No-Limit Hold'em, $0.04 BB (10 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG+1 ($1.60)
UTG+2 ($10.51)
MP1 ($2.33)
MP2 ($5.52)
MP3 ($1.43)
CO ($4.85)
Button ($3.05)
SB ($5.55)
Hero ($5)
UTG ($4.54)

Preflop: Hero is BB with T[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
3 folds, MP1 calls $0.04, MP2 raises to $0.08, 1 fold, CO calls $0.08, 2 folds, Hero calls $0.04, MP1 calls $0.04.

Flop: ($0.34) 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $0.04, MP2 raises to $0.32, CO calls $0.32, Hero calls $0.32, MP1 calls $0.28.

Turn: ($1.62) K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (4 players)
Hero bets $1, MP1 folds, MP2 raises to $2, CO folds, Hero??

Of course I'm not folding for this min-raise, but should I push or call? I just think villains line is very strange, min-betting PF and if he has the nut-flush draw then he would need to have AJs or A9s or an even smaller ace and I don't think his play looks like that, would he have raised pre-flop and the flop like that? Then again if he doesn't have the flush would he raise when the flush card hits? He is a maniac though, and I'd much prefer to stack him than just take a small chunk of his chips if he has a set or something like it.

MP2s line looks like AA/KK - especially with the two min raises.

Shove. If he's that bad and like's to play for stacks, he's likely to call plus niether of you have a pot sized bet left. It's either going in now or on the river and even maniacs can get religion by the river.

Shove of course.

Pause, type in "got the K?" and then shove.

Thank you for your replies! I thought it was an instant shove, but wanted to know what the pros think [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]And I will make the same play next time then (even though this time he had Ac Jc)
