Fun hand against a maniac

[Evan]

When I say maniac I really mean it. In 65 hands his VPIP was 93% and his PFR was 32%. He raised and reraised preflop with all kinds of crap, once he capped w/ K8s.

Final Pot: 14.50 BB

Does anyone reraise the turn here. After I just called I decided that I should have so I lead the river (I was almost positive he'd raise).

nah... i think you probably missed a few bets here... but eventually he's gotta stop raising, right?

if you were gonna bet a blank river, raising the turn is ok here... because you think you're ahead and you're betting for value. the maniac can't be on a solid draw.

if you're afraid you're behind (why?), you should have checked the river blank

your stop/go isn't gonna do anything to confuse this maniac.

It wasn't an intentional stop and go. I just got too weak in the moment when he raised the turn. But I built my courage back up on the river.

[ErrantNight]

so you know where you missed the bet /images/graemlins/smile.gif one missed bet like this isn't a big deal... just keep your confidence up!

Hero has Qs Qd (two pair, queens and jacks).
CO has 4d Kd (two pair, jacks and fours).
Outcome: Hero wins 14.50 BB.
