0.5/1 NL 6 max stars

6 person table but only participants' stacks noted
UTG ($120)
Hero($170)
Button ($70)

My image is super LAG/maniac.

UTG limps, I pop it to $4.5 with A /images/graemlins/spade.gif Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif . Called by button and UTG.

$15 pot on the flop which comes

A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 6 /images/graemlins/club.gif 2 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

I bet $15, called by button, UTG folds

$45 in the pot (effective stacks now $50)

Turn is 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif

I check, button bets $10, I move all-in

Best possible line?

Seems ok here but I would probably bet out rather than checkraise if the opponent had a full stack. What is your read on button, specifically his cold-calling standards and his turn aggression?

What hands will they call with that you beat? AJ? A10?

I much rather lead the whole way/block the river.

I don't like this line at all, especially not the river. The worst he calls you with is AK which beats you.

With that image I guess you could get a call from AJ AT but this is nothing I would do... I try to keep the pot semi-small with only TP2K OOP, would make it 12 on flop and check/call turn maybe block river.

check/call, check/call and check/call bet are noted

However, there are a few other things to consider. I *will* get a big call from AT and AJ more than usual because of my very crazy image. His $10 bet into the $45 pot suggests he probably has such a hand.

I'm certain that I make MORE WHEN AHEAD with this line (because it's the only way I can stack him if he has AT/J). The problem is how much more do I lose when behind? If he has a real powerhouse like a set or aces up, he may bet $20 on the river. Thus I lose $30 with check/call, check/call, and lose $50 with check/raise all-in.

I think typically you'd be right, but please consider the percentage of time I do get a big call from ace worse kicker.

my standard line with this hand on this sort of board is bet/check call/bet but if your image is as good as you say i kinda like the move.

i would like it even more if he will limp A9/8 UTG.

all you said is villain is superlag/maniac, you did not provide any info about your own image in your OP.

to me, superlag/maniac means "will bet more hands than will call with" , thus my check call, check call line.

I'd still like to get your opinion.

I think stack sizes greatly affect what is the best line here.
