I was playing at a table of maniacs, and I think I played this hand poorly.
Starting hands
(**)Ah
(**)2c
(**)Ad
(**)2h
(**)5d
(Ac9c)As
2c brings in, Ad calls, 5d calls, I complete, Ah raises, 2c calls, Ad calls, 5d calls, I reraise, Ah caps, all call.
4th street
(**)Ah6d
(**)2c6s
(**)Ad9h
(**)5d7h
(Ac9c)As8c
A9 checks, 57 checks, I bet, A6 raises, 26 reraises, A9 folds, 57 calls, I call, A6 calls.
5th street
(**)Ah6dQs
(**)2c6h4h
(**)5d7h8h
(Ac9c)As8c6c
AQ bets, 642 raises, 875 calls, I call, and AQ calls.
6th street.
(**)Ah6dQsQd
(**)2c6h4h9s
(**)5d7h8hQc
(Ac9c)As8c6c8h
QQ checks, 246 bets Q875 calls, I call, QQ raises, 2469 reraises 578Q folds, and I call figuring that either the case 8 or one of the 7 remaining clubs would make my hand good, and at this point the pot is so huge that it's almost impossible to let go of a hand.
I river a Jd QQ checks 246 bets, and I make a crying call, followed by QQ calling. My real questions are (1) was I too aggressive in the beginning with my aces dead, should I have let this go on 6th street when the check raise and re-raise really suggested that they had strong hands, and would anyone dump on the river when the pot was offering 35 to one odds.
