I played this hand in a ramjam 20-40 hand the other night. One crazy limper (really, any two cards), and I raise with AJo from the cutoff.

Flop is 2-3-4 rainbow. Check-bet-call.

Turn is a 9 of diamonds, creating a running flush draw.

Check-bet-raise.

Presuming for the moment that my read on this player is correct - that he has made a flush draw on the turn and may have a straight draw as well, what's my best play?

And what's my best play if I think he may have a wheel pair to go with his draw?

My thoughts -- I think the best action is either to fold or to call with the intention of raising if a blank hits. I think that reraising is a mistake, because he will certainly call, and may call the end with a small pair if he misses because of the size of the pot.

Thoughts?

call and call the river. even crazies hit hands that can beat ace high plenty of the time. wait for top pair to pound him.

hi roy
looks like you may be down to two outs and should fold. save fight for better battles.

Given the fact the he is a maniac who could check-raise you with little to nothing on turn, my obvious play of choice would be to check behind and call down on river.
