This is a 2/4 Euros game at Crypto. To my right sits a true maniac (sees every flop, TA 3+). UTG is an average player, not aggressive.
I'm MP and dealt K /images/graemlins/spade.gif K /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
UTG calls, I raise, maniac 3-bets, 3 folds, UTG calls, I cap
Flop: 9 /images/graemlins/spade.gifJ /images/graemlins/spade.gif5 /images/graemlins/club.gif
UTG checks, I bet, Maniac raises, I 3-bet
Turn: K /images/graemlins/heart.gif
This round is capped and UTG calls each bet
River: T /images/graemlins/diamond.gif
OK, four-to a straight, I'm intending to call maniac's raise
UTG checks, I check, maniac bets, UTG raises, ???
The pot is 25.5 BBs now and I need to call 2 BBs. I need to be ahead here 8% of the time to call the 2 BBs cold, but maniac can enable UTG to cap this round. Maybe UTG has 2 pairs or something and sees I'm scared now and maybe he can knock me out and showdown with maniac who might hold even 25o. Than I suspect he won't cap, but if he's ahead (has a Queen) I think he'll cap 100% of the time. What's my plan?
