Re: 2/5 NL hand from the Taj
hearing that he is a maniac/weirdo is only partially helpful. is he just a maniac pre-flop but slows down afterwards? a total maniac on all streets?
i am also curious as to how everyone else folded for just $25 more.... especailly the UTG raiser who will have position on mr. maniac. as it stands you are getting 4:1 to call pre-flop so even though you are out of position i think you have to call and see what happens on the flop.
the problem with this hand is that you have no idea where you are at on any street.... and against a maniac you might get blown off of the best hand if you throw in a raise somewhere. against a reasonable opponent i think you could lead out with a bet on the turn and fold to a huge re-raise.... but in this hand... i really have no idea what line is best.
it sure looks like you are beat.... but depending on what level of maniac you are up against i think you have to call the river getting almost 3.5:1.
hope it worked out,
