good idea or getting carried away?

Playing paradise 10/20 5 handed with favorite maniac to my right.

Same maniac as has featured in a couple of previous posts, played 1300 hands against this guy and he has seen 1299 flops. PFR 45%. Great fun

I raise UTG with KQ, button (plays weakly but must have a strong hand to call here) and BB (maniac) call.

Flop: T64r

Maniac checks, I bet, both call.

turn: 6 - all check.

river 4.

board is T6644. Maniac bets which is an autobet and means nothing at all.

I'm thinking about raising:

I'm probably behind.
maniac has random hand and will call with A or better 2 pair, raise with a boat and fold otherwise.
button has a strong hand but may fold an ace?
I'm getting 11:4 on the raise.

I'm not confident in this type of situation. Is raising here good, good idea but pot too small, or silly?

Thanks

I think it's an interesting spot to throw a raise in there. Certainly would like to get heads-up with the LAG here. If you think button is likely to fold an ace then I say go for it. What else would he check through the turn with? Wouldn't he bet any pocket pair there?

I like the raise. You are much more likely to win HU against the maniac and if the button will throw away the winner, so much the better.

Thanks guys. I just folded but at least I thought about raising, so I'm improving [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Button had AQ, good chance he would have folded.
Maniac had 52o bless him.

I would love to know what ONE hand this maniac didn't think was worthy of playing!
