Stud8 - Day 6, Hand 3: Playing with the crazy LAG

[imported_getfunky]

i agree with andy - your hand does not warrant as much raising as you did on 3rd - but it's less of an error than normal because of the big multiway action .. given your reads and the size of the pot, I like all other decisions - check raising the river is usually a delicate choice because you often make more by betting out and reraising if somebody is strong - often players who showed a lot of strength get shy on the river when they had a made low + str8 draw and did not improve. However the presence of maniacs makes a c/r fine because you know you'll get a least 2 bets in 99% of the time, and often four.
