QQ - do i have to call this down?
Villain sat down a few hands ago, so I had to assume that capping preflop meant a premium hand like AA-TT, AK-AQs, so as a default read that's what I went with. I had a few more hands on the BB, and...

Re: How would you have played this maniac?

Re: Putting people on hands
Most players at $0.5/1 on Party are in love with any ace, and most can't tell the difference between A3o and AKs. They just call. So if the flop comes ace-rag, then you need to worry about two pair....
