Re: He\'s pushing back at my over-pair
I think that after the SB checkraise again on the turn, you need to call down.
I often find that maniacs are the most predictable people to play against. When they have nothing they push hard, and when they have strong hands, they love to trap. That being said, its entierly possible and rather likely that you have the best hand, so I like the bet on the turn. Once he checkraises, its time to get to showdown.
Best line is to river a Q and raise his ass.
I have read about your downswing and agree that there must be some bad play in there somewhere, but there is no way this type of hand is your big leak. If he has AA, KK or some dumb 2 pair that is just bad luck. You played this hand a little strong, but its definetly not terrible.
GL and if you would like some feedback, I will be on vacation tomorrow and would love to read over some hand histories, just PM me.
