River$175)K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] and maniac takes the lions share of the pot.

One of the strangest hands I've ever seen. I probably shouldn't have went all in on the turn. Here's why: my opponents had exactly what I had hoped for, and I was still only about a coin flip to win. Despite the flush that maniac hit, I still made $25 in the hand. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

at the turn, i think you are much more than a coin flip ahead.

I think cardplayer potcalc. said I was like 65% or something. So yea I was a bit more than a coin flip but at the time, I thought I was like an %80 or so favorite. I was suprised to see the actual number.
point well taken though that I was the fav. and I make money on every dollar that went into the pot.

If it says, 65% to win the 3 way pot... that is awesome. I would be all in for 40% to win a 3 way pot, your tripling up!

Obviously, with 4 callers your $3 preflop raise was weak. Raise higher, try to isolate and destroy. I prefer, big raise preflop , and then push all-in if rags fall on flop in this type of game when you have AA or KK. Wait for your nut drawing hands to capitalize on thier poor play.
