Default Flop action then the turn card...

This is an absolute must check-raise. You need to clean up your J and T outs, in addition to getting running flush draw hands out or higher straight hands like KJ out. Even if such weak players to call 2 cold we can define their hands further and we have plenty of outs to better them.

My roomate goes to call and I scream, "check-raise", he does. The EP players fold, the maniac three bets, we call.

bet/3-bet. Maniac might check w/out a piece of the board, and w/a piece of the board, will likely raise.

Bet, raise, three-bet, cap.

There are a lot of ways for the maniac to have a "piece" of this board so I just lead out.

You said he slows down on the big streets. That's a pretty scary card, even for a maniac. Will he auto-raise if we bet? I like bet/3-betting, but I think check-raising guarantees us 2BB on the turn. The maniac is surely betting this turn, but not as surely raising it.

I thought this street was very interesting as well. He may not auto raise but is surely caling with any K or [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]. He is still a manaic and they are definately betting any turn Heads-up and likely can't fold until the river.

My roomate goes to bet, and I say, "no check, then raise" he does. The maniac three-bets...

What do think the maniac has now that he has show some serious turn aggression for once?

We cap, he calls.

I'm hoping he had a set or another JT without a club on the turn. That's an awful river card. I don't think you can Clarkmeister a maniac can you? I say check-call.

I hate bet-folding against this sort of player. I think it's a fairly easy check-call and I expect to be good fairly often.

Against a sane opponent I would lead out knowing the villian would have to fold a wide range of hands. Against this guy I think a check call is in order because you have a hand that will win its fair share against this guy who could still be betting a Kx no club hand, two pair no club hand, or a set on the river. Like I said above a bet/fold is probably the best option against most players, but folding to a raise from this guy would really suck so I say show this down as cheaply as possible and expect to win more than 1 in 18.
