Re: Maniac Line Checks

Hand 1: Don't bet the turn (check/call). Good otherwise.
Hand 2: The flop call of your raise and checkraise on the turn is ominous from someone that just bet/raises every time. He's getting tricky because he thinks he has you crushed. I just call down from the turn raise.
Hand 3: Beautiful. I might even cap the turn, but this is fine as well.

This is along the lines of what I was thinking. Although on Hand 2 I had a real hard time giving him credit for an Ace or King even with the call.
After reflecting on these hands -- it is a challenge playing against these types. It certainly adds some spice to the game but I wanted to make sure I wasn't out maniacing the maniac here.
I was going to say I'll post results later, but I got some good feedback so I'll let 'em rip.
I went 3-0 on these hands against the maniac.
Hand 1 no show, I give a 25% chance that I sucked out with the flush.
Hand 2 he showed down T9o and MHIG
Hand 3 no show, but I give a <10% chance that I sucked out again on him with the rivered 2 pair.
