3-6 hand. I'm in early-middle position with AKo. There is a maniac in the cutoff and a calling station in the small blind. I open-raise. The maniac 3-bets (he could do this with anything) and the calling station calls 3 cold (again he could call here with any 2-suited, face cards, pairs, etc.) I just call.
Flop is 445. I bet into three better hoping he will raise and drive out calling station. This was probably a bad plan but it made sense to me at the time. Maniac raises, calling station calls, i call. Turn is 7. If it is checked around, I can put maniac on overcards. It is checked around on the turn.
River is a 9, making board 44579 (suits don't matter). Calling station checks, I check, maniac bets. I put him on overcards or a pure bluff and calling station calls. Do you call here? I counted 9.5 BB in the pot. I thought there was a chance maniac was bluffing with overcards and calling station knew this and could call with ace high or a low pair. It's hard to call two people on the river with AK nothing so I folded. Results to follow.
