What do we do here against maniac?
 

Villian is 84/35/4(100+ hands). He bluffs a lot. Raises could mean anything and he bluffs quite frequently. I THINK he's smart enough to get out of pots if I check-raise and then lead the turn, but I really don't know for sure. So what do you do on the turn here? I was inistially putting him on AJ, or Jx. I contemplated hard about QQ-AA and the turn kind of hit me. In retrospect I thought I check-raised pot size on the flop, but apparently I didn't. Other then that what are you doing here?

You already mentioned yourself a bigger flop raise, other than that, you got your money in with a set nh.

Against a maniac like that a call is manditory.

I don't think I've ever seen numbers like that over so many hands. I love that guy.

Re: What do we do here against maniac?
 

I think flop was the only place you botched. Lead flop or c/r bigger, lead turn. nh for the most part.

Poop.

I feel slightly stupid for not even really considering that hand. I'm not sure it even crossed my mind.

Re: What do we do here against maniac?
 

other than the flop bet (which you pointed out you wanted to bet more) i think this hand was played perfectly.
