UB .25/.50

Currently 6 players at table, 2 other players in this hand are idiot/maniac type..... The ominous Cracky McCracken clan.

I'm in BB with A /images/graemlins/heart.gif K /images/graemlins/spade.gif

UTG(Cracky #1) raises, UTG+1(Cracky #2) 3-bets, folded to me, I call(I think I shoulda capped against these guys, but I wanted to at least get to the flop without getting into a war), Cracky #1 calls.

FLOP(9.5 SB): 2 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif 7 /images/graemlins/spade.gif A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I lead out, Cracky #1 calls, Cracky #2 raises, I 3-bet, Cracky #1 caps, Cracky #2 calls, I call.

TURN(11.5 BB): 10 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

I check, intended to check-raise here. Cracky #1 bets, Cracky #2 raises, I call (I think I screwed up by not 3-betting here), Cracky #1 3-bets, Cracky #2 calls, I call (fearing 2 pair here.... I had Cracky #2 on a flush draw at this point).

RIVER(20.5 BB): 8 /images/graemlins/club.gif

I check, Cracky #1 bets, Cracky #2 folds, I flat call, just like I have a nice, lacy skirt on.

Cracky #1 showed A /images/graemlins/club.gif 9 /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I guess my question is kinda two-fold:

1. With 2 wackadoo opponents, should I have capped the turn?

2. Should I lead the river, or raise behind?


I really had no real reads on these 2, but I know now that they're complete morons at the table. Not that my play was stellar or anything, but they both LOVE to cap PF with any 2 suited and are real bad players. I think I lost at least 3-5 bets on this hand, but I had no idea how bad they were until about 10 hands later. Comments?

Versus two maniacs preflop I would cap preflop or fold. I don't normally play AKo out of position when it is 3-bet preflop but your situation is different.

I think sticking to you check-raise on the turn is a good plan. That should slow them down, but there is no way you are folding here.

Other than that I think you played it fine.

Peace,
