11R hand...Against Aggressive Borderline Maniac

[ZBTHorton]

This hand is right after the break in the 11r against one of the chipleaders in the tournament. We're about 10 minutes in from break and he's played almost every hand.

2 of last 3 hands he's overpushed the turn or river into smaller stacks getting them to fold. Yada yada.

I'll preface this with a couple of comments.

#1. I felt I had a pretty stone cold read on him when he checked through the turn. I *probably* should have bet the turn as well, but felt I was probably getting a call anyway. I had already decided a non-scare card and I was calling his bet on the river(that I knew was coming).

#2. This is being posted because a friend of mine feels its the "worst play ever", and any "world class player" will think the HH is made up. *shrug*

#3. We are far more concerned with your analysis of the final call, than the check on the turn or river. Although those comments are welcome(I don't claim to have played the hand perfectly).

#4. Am I the only one that leads out the flop here? I do this alot in deeper stacked tournaments. Has always produced pretty decent results.
