easy call VS maniac?

[DrFeelgoodRC]

A little history on the big vill...been here for about 3 orbits...he semi frequently makes big overbets...against anyone else it would be an easy lay down for me but...i don't know..the reason i was thinking about a call was this hand against the same villian on his first orbit.

do you think i should wait for a better spot or did i just pass up some easy money?...not used to dealing with maniacs.

Hand 2: Hard to say for sure if you passed up money. I would call, for the obvious reasons. But thats me, I tend to be on the side of..."this makes no sense, why would he do this with the ace here".

My type of thinking gets me into alot of trouble though. We have to remember that we are playing against people who dont think. So they do things that are irrational and make no sense. But given the villain's previous j9 b.s., I wouldn't be laying this down. Thats just me though, and I am in quite a slump lately.
