QQ against loose/maniac

http://www.pokerhand.org/index.php?page=view&hand=136665

tstar was playing VERY loose and aggressively (maniac) with a
vp$ip of 75%. any tips would be appreciated.

Looks good to me. His PF and Flop play show why you can't fold and I don't want to be raising the turn either. You capped the flop and defined your hand. When he raises the turn between the paired board and the overcard calling down is just right against this player.

thanks Carmine. I got my money back a few hands later and tstar soon got busted of course.

Try using this converter for these boards. Delete the word "Texas" from the first line of the hand history (that is a bug in this coverter).

Regarding the hand play - against a maniac you played fine. You have to grit your teeth and call down after the flop action. Sucks that he hit his 3-outer, but that's poker.
