Raise preflop.

I was in the BB. You are suggesting I 3 bet A-10s from there with an UTG caller to act behind me? If so, you are not someone I should be taking advice from.

I love it when people overplay top two pair on the river. Usually pays off my set really well.

He was the table maniac. He had no set.

you just contradicted yourself so badly. do you see why?

Yes, because you are about to say that I should have 3 bet to isolate the table maniac. Except that the last 3 times I had seen UTG limp in, it was a limp reraise that worked, and he held a big hand every time. So I figured I would see a relatively cheap flop and take things from there.

You lost $4500 tonight and I won about $500, so maybe you, too, are not someone from whom I should be taking advice.

In fact, I am not looking for advice from any of you. I played this hand perfectly given the table conditions. My call allowed the maniac to think he was best, I believe the UTG had a big pair or AK he was looking to limp-reraise with and I didn't give him the chance, and I extracted maximum value when I knew I was probably ahead. So in conclusion, any of you looking to give advice can stop right there, because any changes you would make to my line here are simply incorrect.
