Re: three hands against one maniac
Hand 1: I fold preflop, but yeah if you're gonna play then I like the 3-bet. I'd just rather have an ace or a pocket pair to make that play from 3 off the button. I don't really like the calldown either, that flop is pretty dry, no real draws.....you're hoping she is on complete air?
Hand 2: Again, I probably fold preflop, and I'm done with the hand on that flop. You are 3-way with just a couple backdoor draws.
Maybe I'm missing something, but isn't the way to beat a maniac gamber to wait until you have something to showdown before you go to war with them. You know they are not going to backoff so why not give yourself a decent ace, or a pair before you get involved?
Hand 3: Yes, obviously get to showdown, but 12 bets on the flop is a bit extreme. If goes more than 4 bets you are probably way behind, or she has a lot of outs against you and may even be a favorite over your 1 pair.
