I'd seriously consider folding preflop, especially in a 1/3 blind structure.

I wouldn't fold PF here because of the small sample size on UTG. But I would play it very cautiously. He may have been getting nothing but trash for 50 hands, and you're missing out by folding.

I'd let the maniac lead and then bet-call the river. Or maybe check-raise if you're sure he'd bet it. After UTG folds you can feel a little better.

32/22/4 is NOT one of us guys.

Preflop coldcall: very bad. If you don't feel comfortable reraising it (and against a UTG raise from a guy who has raised exactly once in 50 hands, I wouldn't), you should toss it.

Flop: WTF?? This is where you should be getting bets in, if you think your hand is worth anything. Yeah, it's sexy to go for the big bets with your top pair, but you have no idea where you stand, especially with a tight PFR.

"roflol"

Maybe it's like I'm saying he's got 50 hands on him and no other reads, so don't cream your jeans about the stats. 10 just means 10%, not the top 10%. You'll find lots of guys with low PFR stats making funny raises. I can dig up some hands if you want.

edit: the idiot remark was classy, btw

If you check-raise the turn, there's no way you should be calling it down when he 3-bets you.
