Hand with a Maniac

[calvin]

Hello,

B&M--4/8. I am on the button with JTo, and limp after 5 callers; SB checks and BB checks. BB is a total maniac--raising with any two, calling three bets cold on the flop and turn, rarely folding HU with any holding.

Flop is: J T 9 with two spades.

SB checks, BB bets, folded to CO-1 who calls, I raise; BB three bets, CO-1 calls, I re raise; BB caps, CO-1 calls, I call.

Turn is: J T 9 A, with two spades.

BB checks, C0-1 checks, I bet, BB check raises, CO-1 folds, I call.

River is: J T 9 A 2, with two spades.

BB checks, I bet.

Comments on all streets appreciated.

Results in white below with my thoughts to follow in a later post:

you played it perfectly. Maybe I would raise the turn again if the big blind always player way way overagressive... Makes no sence that he did not raise river though.

Hi Calvin,

You played it fine. Your opponent is the village idiot of pokertown. He bets when he should check and checks when he should bet. Good luck.
