8 handed online 30/60.
A complete crackhead maniac totally tilted worst player I've ever seen lunatic open raises. I swear that this gives absolulely zero indicaiton of what he might hold. It is a very good approximation to say that he has a completely uniform distribution of potential holdings. He has played 100% (and yes, I mean 100%) of the hand for the last hour, and his decisions to raise or limp are based on time. That is, he'll limp every hand for 15 mins, then raise every hands for 15 mins. I three bet from the cutoff with 10d 10c . My raises have been getting a lot of respect in general, but the button makes caps it this hand. The button is overaggressive prelflop, but that's about the only thing I know about him. Blinds fold, loony calls and I call.
Flop: 7d 2h 2d Looney checks, and I bet. My first question is whether this is a good bet. The looney will probably call two cold with basically any 2, so my leading doesn't give me a great chance to get it heads-up. So does this make it a bad lead? However, it may well give me some info about my opponents hands. The button raises and the looney makes it 3. A complete description of the looney's strange tendencies is beyond the scope of this post, but any form of aggression from the looney post-flop is rather unusual, and this is the first time I have ever seen him check- 3 bet. When he check-raises on the turn, he always has a monster. The one time I saw him check-raise the flop, he had top pr weak kicker. If he flopped trip dueces, it is like 80% that he'll check the turn, becuase he absolutely loves to double (and triple!--did it twice!) check-raise (if you think that's relevant info, but I don't know if the button knows that, because he's relatively new to the game).
So I feel pretty uncofortable with two cold back to me. The combined chance that the looney could have trips or that the button has a bigger pocket pair (and that my flush card isn't so hot) make me fold. Is this the right play?
I'll post the what they had in a separate post.
