River fold against maniac?
I continue to have problems against maniacs on the river. Normally, this would be an easy river fold, right? But against a maniac, I'm not so sure. This particular maniac has shown several bluffs to the table.
Button is 75/34/8.2 over 89 hands. PokerStars 2/4 Hold'em (5 handed) converter Preflop: Hero is MP with T[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, Button calls, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>. Flop: (5.50 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, Button calls. Turn: (3.75 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font> <font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls.

Re: River fold against maniac?
well a lot of this depends on his betting patterns..
does he take advantage of position ? does he often call pf and flop to setup big street bluffs? would he "slowplay" Ax like this? depending on his showdown tendencies i want to just go into check/call mode on the turn.. if he's going to showdown a lot of the time, there's no reason to bet the turn IMO. |

Re: River fold against maniac?
bet that flop and call down from there. c/c the turn - it's cheap and you can't expect him to fold after he calls the flop. - the way you played it, i still call the river

He has shown several bluffs over how many hands? If he is bluffing >12% of the time here then you should call.
