First of all, regarding your flop call, you're drawing to the 3rd nuts with two players to act behind you. A very marginal call even though you're getting about 3.5-1 on your money. Maybe raise to try for a free turn card, ugly spot on flop.

Why are you min-raising on the turn [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]
What does this accomplish???????

After being three-bet all-in against such a maniac I'm probably auto-calling here, his range is too wide. Turn call is fine.

Sometimes when I'm making decisions, particularly difficult post-flop decisions, I verbalize my thought process before I click the button. It really helps me when defining a villain's hand range. Simply it helps me understand why I am doing what I am doing. Easy for the mind to trick itself into believing things, particularly in the deceptive world of poker. So slow down and make sense of what you're doing. Try it sometime.
