Villain is lag/maniac. Multiple street bluffs, rabid checkraising, and peen waving not uncommmon. Stats are 64.6/40.6/2.2 over 230 hands.

Must call down

You probably have to see it, but it seems unusual for a maniac not to raise that flop. Makes me think he hit his flush on the flop. But it's hard to use rational thinking when playing a retard.

[krishanleong]

Not check raising the flop is a mistake. Unless you were trying to bet/3-bet. Which I don't think you were since you didn't 3-bet the turn. (Which can be an option) River call is easy. (He could easily be raising the turn with a J or 6 no heart)

Yah I should CR the flop. I got excited when I flopped a pair.

I thought for like 20 seconds then folded since I lack testicles.
