Re: J6s -- play along with me
 

In the sb I fold. If it's 2/3 blind structure I don't think it's that big of a mistake to call if you feel you can get paid off huge with a made hand. Or is it not?

First to act after the flop with a "stereotypically aggressive" BB and a "maniac LAG" on your left? I think it is that big of a mistake.

Ok I see your point. Folding is more than right.

Re: J6s -- play along with me
 

Easy fold, right? Let's see - EP has essentially a random hand, MP didn't raise (though that may not mean much for a fish), figure BB comes along with an OK hand. In a 2/3 blind structure, you're getting 5:1. Let's assume the following:

EP - any two
MP - any pair, any Ace, any 2 broadway, any K/Q/J suited (this may be too narrow a range, but should be close)
you - J6 spades
BB - any pair, any Ace, any 2 broadway, any connector, any suited connector or 1-gapper, K9s, Q9s

Per PokerStove, you have about 22% equity which argues strongly for a call, especially since you can outplay 'em post flop. Certainly, for your last chips you need to call. Yes, you are out of position but might be able to use it to your advantage. If you hit the flop, bet out and make the BB worry about being raised by the maniac; make MP face 2 cold.

It . . . could . . . work! (But I'd probably fold anyway)

BB - unknown, just came over from a broken game, looks stereotypically aggressive

It's awfully hard for me to play along postflop when my cards are in the muck, but I'll do what I can.

At the risk of persisting my nit image, I'd fold here.
