Caesars Palace 1-2: Deep stacks, Maniacal Bettor, 66 on a K,4,3 flop

[Isura]

I prefer a raise preflop. Since you know lag donk will bump it to $20 otherwise, just raise to $10-12 preflop. Has he been reraising people preflop with junk?

I like to raise the flop here. But call,call,call looks okay too.

[TheWorstPlayer]

call. call river.

I think the people suggesting raising are way off base.

Assume he's betting $70 here, and if you call he'll bet $140 on the river with any two. If you call both you're risking $210 and he can have almost any two so you

What if you raise the turn? Assume you raise to $210, 140 more, he'll fold any hand you beat or reraise them allin on a bluff and you'll have to fold then.

Seems pretty clear you get the most value from call-call.

On the other hand, I don't really like 66 as the hand to call him down with, you'll surely get better spots.

Wrong forum. This is a cash game.

Whether I fold, call, or raise in this hand, that better spot is going to come anyway. So, if a non-folding play is best here, it should be made. Then, you can take advantage of the better spot as well.

I think this would have worked. He had reraised with junk but it was only once (maybe twice).
