Default Re: Did I play this two pair too fast ?

party 50 NL is land of the maniac. Apparently all of the maniacs who run over 25NL feel it is their duty to move to fifty as soon as they have more than a buy in to do it with. The maniac is a strage but predictable beast. Calling = weakness and he attacks weakness with a bet almost exclusively. Just call on the flop. Let him "bet his way out" of this hand. he will do it all the way till the river, where you can put in a raise; at which point he will try and push you off of your hand if he has any type of a hand.

The underlying fault in a maniacs strategy is overagression. This is exploited by calling, allowing him to continue to be agressive; not raising.
