$55- TPNK on bubble against a maniac
 

Villian is an absolute maniac. He's played tons of marginal hands very fast, including the last hand where he doubled me up by pushing his TPNK into my set (massive overbet).

Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t100 (4 handed) FTR converter on zerodivide.cx

BB (t2275)
UTG (t1080)
Button (t3485)

Fold preflop, I might 2/3pot on flop.

No way I fold a suited king getting 5:1 with a deep stack and a chance to play with this villian. Thoughts on the fold?

I like to see a flop here.

Despite being a maniac his hand did have some value. With your read you can assume 1/2 the time he has top pair or better here.

This flop sucks because the other cards are so low, you have no hidden outs if he has a King, his kicker, even if it's K8 plays and you lose. I think it's best to fold and keep exploiting your much larger edges (like your previous hand)
