Why the 3-bet?

Because I didn't think he had an Ace. Wasn't positive, but I wanted to push him back to make him think twice about bluffing me in the future.

I used to have a big problem with this, because we've been told since our poker infancy that calling too much is weak and lame. I had to come to understand that calling down is not tantamount to giving up on a hand. And against a LAG/maniac, calling is in fact the best weapon -- think of it like a rope-a-dope, or a Judo/Aikido-style redirection of the enemy's energy to your benefit.
And btw, giving him a bunch of extra BBs with 2PNK is probably not the best way to show him who's boss [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img].
