Re: 5/10 high: Maniac with an ace, moron with queens?
Looks to me like you played it pretty well. Waiting till 5th to raise seat 3 out was a good plan. On 5th, he is getting 8 1/2 to 1 if you only call, & 5+ to 1 if you raise. You don't want to give him a cheap card here to let him draw out on you, & if he lays down J's up (not likely), you have really improved your chances.On the river, the check/call seems like a good option. The check may encourage the fool to bluff at you with nothing. If you bet, he may fold with nothing or raise with 2 pr, & you will have to pay him off. Good job.
