Re: 88 against a maniac and his LRR
LRR always throw me for a loop. However, when a maniac like your villian LRR, it usually isnt a monster. In most cases, its suited junk.
In your case, I would raise turn, hoping for a free showdown. Villian probably isn't bluff three-betting the turn, and if he calls your turn raise and still bets on river, it's an easy fold. Question is, if he checks a non-club river to you, do you value bet in that scenario?

Do not fold 88 on a K999 board against a completely overaggressive opponent...especially in what's now a decent pot. No line here should incluce folding. [/ QUOTE ] No way I was folding this...but was calling down better than raising the turn?

Re: 88 against a maniac and his LRR
I'd probably just call down. His stats are pretty crazy but only over 90 hands he could be having a lucky night if you didn't notice anything yet. He did LRR and his pfr isn't really that high. Yeah...I'd call down.

[/ QUOTE ] Raising the turn would be really bad here IMO, becuz this is the exact kind of opponent that is capable of 3betting you with a hand you can beat. I also think you are much better off just callin the flop also, for the same reason you should just call the turn. Against overaggressive opponents, when you have a marginal holding such as the one you have, the best strategy is usually to get to the showdown as cheaply as possible.

[/ QUOTE ] As Chief said, this guy might have just been having a lucky night. I was doing other things and not paying much attention to individual players. But when I saw his A5o...maniac status confirmed (unless he was a good player just messing around).
