AA 4 handed against Blind raise
.10/.25 NL 4 handed live. Stacks are all average, ranging $15-$30. Game is composed of one rock, a calling station/LAG type player, a TAG(myself),and a maniac.
Villan is the maniac, who raises blind every round when he's first to act. He is a good player who can play well postflop, and usually is a TAG in a 9 handed game. He respects me and I usually respect him. I have ~$30 and cover villan by a little. Villan raises to $2 blind UTG (standard raise). Hero is dealt AA in LP and raises to $7 all fold to villan, who calls. ($14) Flop: 3 K K (suites unimportant) Villan checks Hero checks ($14) Turn: 4 Villan bets $5 Hero calls $5 ($24) River: 2 Villan bets $9 Hero folds I figure it is a WA/WB situation. Considering that villan respects me, I feel he isn't betting without a K. Thoughts?

Re: AA 4 handed against Blind raise
I'd call the river, given your read. I try not to make big laydowns versus maniacs. You're obviously in a better position to decide if he's capable of bluffing here with air than I am though. Very well played otherwise.

why are you calling the turn but folding a small river bet? [/ QUOTE ] This is a good question, and it went through my thought process during the hand. I felt that nearly 80% of the time, villan will stab on the turn and check/fold the river with air. Since he respects me, I felt he couldn't have made this move without a K.

[/ QUOTE ] checking the flop and betting 1\3 pot on the turn and 1\3 pot on the river is now a "move"? i call this all day and expect aces to be good the majority of the time.

Since he respects me [/ QUOTE ] This is crucial. I have played with villan for almost 2 years, and he generally stays out of my way, and I out of his. I think both of these bets are value bets. If anyone is intrested, he showed K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] after the hand. He said he was sick of being 'bitched' around and let emotions get to him. Thanks for the replies.
