Maniac bluffs the river.....maybe

[Kyriefurro]

Villain a very loose, very aggressive - 75/37/4 after about 100 hands. His river AF is 14.0. He had about 2.5 buy-ins in front of him when I sat down, and he's almost doubled up again since. He's definately using his deep stack to bully the table. He has bluffed and shown several times in the last 100 hands. His W$SF is 60%, but his WSD is only 13%, which means a) his bullying has been very successful and b) he's folding all of his non-made hands before showdown.

Last note on villain: one of his favorite tactics seems to be to call one or two streets and then make a monster (100-150BB) raise once the pot has been built up bit.

Against most other villains this is an easy fold. In fact against most other villains, I'm probably check-folding the turn (and maybe I should have here). Against a villain who's been bullying the table, and who seems to be taking great delight in bluffing his opponents out of post, I'm on the fence.
