Online $1/$2, mostly LP, one maniac


I limp UTG with Q /images/graemlins/spade.gif5 /images/graemlins/spade.gif

MP poster checks, LP1 (maniac) calls, LP2 calls, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/spade.gif 5 /images/graemlins/club.gif

The blinds check, I bet, poster folds, the rest call.

Turn: Q /images/graemlins/heart.gif

The blinds check again, I bet, everybody folds.

Instead of raising, the best play would be to never play this hand UTG.

Terrible call unless you're a zooster, then you have GrannyMae and should be raising.

Auto-fold. You got lucky this time.

No I would not raise preflop and I would have folded

If you are going to play a Granny, I think you at least have to raise and give yourself the best chance to win without a showdown.

In reality, although favorite hands can be fun they will only cost you money in the long term.
