Default Re: Dealing with a maniac.

Your position in this hand is hurting you. With all those callers behind you, it makes it tough. The flop is not a total disaster, but there is an excellent chance one of your opponents likes it a lot more than you do. You want to see a jack, and an ace may help you as well. Basically you don't have a lot of outs, the pot is big, there are many opponents, and your postion is bad. Time to start playing it as a draw and take your foot off the gas pedal.

For those reasons, I don't like the turn raise. First, even idiots get hands sometimes. Second, with two still left to act, you may very well get called. At the party 15-30, your raise will not fold a king, and even a 10 may cold call it.

I also don't think this flop is worth a bet. Your bet will be raised a lot and called in multiple places.
