Default Re: Preflop situation against 2 maniacs

[ QUOTE ]
Button and SB are maniacs.

Button 76/67

SB 66/28

BB is LP and will coldcall with any random hand (especially on the button).

No reads on the other player

Preflop: Hero is MP3 with 6[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, UTG+2 calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls, <font color="#CC3333">CO raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, SB calls, BB calls, UTG+2 folds, Hero?

Here is my situation: Button and SB are maniacs. I realize they probabaly have weak hand. But still, is A6s a big enough hand to call 2 cold here? Keep i mind, I was also almost certain that the Button would re-raise, meaning I would have to put in 3 bets to see this flop. . The advantage is that they played TERRIBLE and I would have an edge in this potentially HUGE pot.

SO, am I wrong for wanting to play this? Is this a case of me taking their reads as manics too far or is this standard/accepted?


Thoughts?

If you're playing with maniacs, don't limp a hand that you're not willing to play for 3 or 4 bets. A6s is strong enough if you don't spew postflop because you'll get tons of postflop action in a huge 5-way pot. If they're going to cap every street, don't see the turn unless you've got something worth while (ie no loose flop calls).
