What do we do here against maniac?

[FreakDaddy]

Villian is 84/35/4(100+ hands). He bluffs a lot. Raises could mean anything and he bluffs quite frequently. I THINK he's smart enough to get out of pots if I check-raise and then lead the turn, but I really don't know for sure. So what do you do on the turn here? I was inistially putting him on AJ, or Jx. I contemplated hard about QQ-AA and the turn kind of hit me. In retrospect I thought I check-raised pot size on the flop, but apparently I didn't. Other then that what are you doing here?

You already mentioned yourself a bigger flop raise, other than that, you got your money in with a set nh.

Against a maniac like that a call is manditory.

I don't think I've ever seen numbers like that over so many hands. I love that guy.

I think flop was the only place you botched. Lead flop or c/r bigger, lead turn. nh for the most part.

Why so sad?

Poop.

I feel slightly stupid for not even really considering that hand. I'm not sure it even crossed my mind.

other than the flop bet (which you pointed out you wanted to bet more) i think this hand was played perfectly.
