KJ against a maniac

Meh.

If this monkey is capable of folding a pocket pair that would otherwise play, I'd raise the river. Most times I think you lose by calling, or at best chop with a king.

Meh is right. This line makes no sense. The OP described a LAGGy villian and the numbers bear that out. There is no way he ever folds a better hand here. Call the river with your nut no pair, or fold the river. Just don't raise it.

To the OP: you make a free card play on the flop, I think you should take it.

My "read" on villain that I gave you guys doesn't adequately describe everything I have seen him do. In my mind the raise on the flop was not a free card play, but that I actually may have some value in it. I also am really concerned about giving him free cards. This opponent could easily be raising with a huge variety of hands. Given this, do you still check the turn?

Thanks,
