hero, a maniac, and a villian (flame away)

[davet]

Hero is BB with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

UTG & UTG+1 fold. MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls Button calls, SB calls, Hero raises. Everyone calls.

14 SB - rake BBJ = 13 SB

I don't like this flop too much, but most people don't seem to like it too much either. I considered a check- raise, but my most likely better would be the maniac in MP1 so I bet out and let him raise it for me. which is exactly what happened.

Hero bets, MP1 raises, MP3 calls, folded to hero who raises, MP1 caps, MP3 calls.

Okay, I still don't know where I am at, I bet out, MP1 calls, MP3 raises, Hero....

My read is on MP3: Some old geezer, who loves to slow- roll every showdown, as if I could possibly put this guy on a hand. Trust me, if his hole- cards were face- up, I wouldn't be able to lay him on a hand, nothing he ever does makes any logical sense to me, one time, he called me all the way to the river with a 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], good thing I cracked him with my Ace- high. He does play "tight," -- all suited, or connected, face card, and aces. After the flop he will raise because.... [img]/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]

Hey,

Preflop is good. The flop bet is good. The flop 3-bet is too aggro, as is leading the turn after the flop gets capped. A read on MP1 would be helpful. I'd probably call down after I get raised on the flop. If I call the flop raise and then I check the turn and find myself facing two cold, I'd be able to find a fold I think.

Given this read, 3 betting the flop isn't too aggro.

Ah yes. Reading posts. Whoops. I'm gonna check-call down after the flop gets capped most likely.
