7 handed with a maniac

[BWillie]

3/6 Live (7 handed)

Button is a maniac. He usually bets at scare cards, and has been unsuccessful. I've caught him on two bluffs thus far. Will bet out or maybe raise with J9 with a flop of AK2 with no draw.

Hero is dealt A/images/graemlins/heart.gif8/images/graemlins/diamond.gif on the button.

PREFLOP: UTG calls. MP1 calls. MP2 folds. Hero raises. Button calls. SB folds. BB calls. UTG folds. MP1 calls.

FLOP: 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif10/images/graemlins/spade.gif10/images/graemlins/heart.gif (4 players)
BB checks. MP1 checks. Hero checks. Button bets. BB & MP1 fold. Hero calls.
I didn't raise here because I've seen villain raise on the flop with nothing, so I figured I'd check-call to him and lead the turn for more value and see how he reacts.


TURN: 6/images/graemlins/heart.gif (HU)
Hero bets. Villain raises. Hero calls.

It looks to me that he has a ten now, or at least a nine. If he had any face cards he would of probably re-reaised me preflop even with JQo. I figure he has a ten, but I have odds to call a raise and I call not liking it.
River: 3/images/graemlins/heart.gif (HU)
Hero bets. Villain calls.

I would of folded here if there was no heart.

To wreckless or no?

"hero is dealt A8o OTB"

I don't like preflop, 2limpers + maniac left, doesn't sound good for A8o

thats an ok flop for you, the check is good, as is the call HU

donkbettin the turn doesn't make sense to me

I think I'm checking the river, he seems like the overbluff happytype, and he might payoff a raise
