I don't like just calling here with a maniac behind that could get trigger happy if you show weakness and I don't like folding what could possibly still be the best hand and/or still be drawing live. Nevertheless, I think raising is disastrous here and calling is the better play. Maniac hasn't shown signs of anything and he would be hard press to bluff raise into 2 people.

Wait, so I don't believe BB's donk bet? Here's what I think. He's weak rather than strong becauseI find it incredibly stupid for BB to be betting out a straight, set, King, two pair like that--in other words, hands that beat yours--after that much action before hand when a c/r would work here pefectly. I've seen stranger bets though at these low limits, like donk-betting when you pair up bottom pair. Sorry in advance if I dont make any sense...must get some sleep.

I raise here and fold to a 3 bet. If my raise is called and button folds, I probably check behind on river unimproved. I do not want to let button see the river and if we are behind we are paying 2 bets to call down anyway. I think it is pretty close though between raising and calling down.
