interesting 5&5 hand against maniac

[edtost]

how about a lower set or 2 pair? both are clearly plausable hands, with him wanting to charge draws. he may well need to be bluffing like never for a call to be correct, but it doesn't matter in this instance, because he's on (semi)bluffs a lot of the time.

folding is massively -ev compared to calling. just calling the flop, while not as awful, is still bad.

on those rare occasions these days when diablo decides to post strategy, he tends to be right a lot. i really don't see why this discussion is still occurring.
