Default Re: Hand #1 -- How To Play This Under Pair On A Paired Flop In Wild Ga

A completely wild game with multiple maniacs can be difficult to play in because it's tough to get position on all of these guys.

In this particular hand, if the maniac and LAG MP2 are jamming it with random hands like 85o, you need to cap preflop (unless you think the super LAG on the button will cap himself with any two cards, and then it doesn't matter).

I like your flop bet, but why no 3-bet? You likely have a better hand than the button, so the only question is whether UTG+2 has anything. If he doesn't have a T, your 3-bet and the button's cap may actually get him to fold his overcards right there.

I would also bet the turn for precisely the same reason. You want the button to raise, get rid of UTG+2 and then just call down.

But again, this line only works if the button is wild. And yes, you're committed to a showdown unless you're facing 2 big bets cold or something crazy like that.
