Re: 80/160 #6: ATs
I have a hard time believing you'd check the turn here with an 8, nor go pass up an overcall from the button on the river, unless maybe you had T8s of the flush draw? Maybe I am off on this assumption (someone please correct me if I am), but anyway...
Given that, I think if button actually has a hand, respects your play and is also smart enough to realize the above, that this play won't work here often enough to make it worth it.
Especially if we assume that essentially the same thing applies to the maniac, with the added problem that he might look you up here with even a weak hand just because he is a maniac.
