The initial raiser in this hand is a maniac VP$IP > 40, PFR > 18. I have no stats on the first cold caller, but the second is a calling station.

Preflop: Hero is BB with T/images/graemlins/spade.gif, A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. MP3 posts a blind of $5.
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, MP1 calls, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, CO calls, Button calls, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, MP1 calls.

Flop: (11.40 SB) K/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, A/images/graemlins/club.gif <font color="#0000FF">(5 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, MP1 folds, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 raises</font>, CO calls, Button calls, Hero calls.

I bet out, hoping that the initial raiser will raise to thin the field. I was nervous when he got two cold callers.

Turn: (9.70 BB) 4/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(4 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">MP2 bets</font>, CO folds, Button calls, Hero calls.

Should I have bet out again? I didn't want to face another raise, but the pot was getting too big to fold.

River: (12.70 BB) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
Hero checks, MP2 checks, Button checks.

Final Pot: 12.70 BB

Thoughts?

If he is indeed a maniac, I would definitely bet out the turn and hope he raised. Since he's a maniac he's likely raising with a worse hand and making the other 2 guys call 2 cold to stay.
