Default Fold the STRAIGHT FLUSH?

Upon entering this post, many of you thought no way in hell. Well, what do you do here?

Party Poker 100 NL 1-2

I have 200
Maniac has 180
EVERYONE else 80-110


Deal 5 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in the small blind.
ALL limp to me and I complete (they looked pretty [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] )

BB, an absolute maniac with 180 in front of him after posting, checks, and types "10-2 offsuit baby... DOYLE BRUNSON!!"

Now this nutcase has actually stated his past 6 hands and hasn't lied once. He loves the:

7-2 offsuit - "WORST HAND BITCH"
8-3 offsuit - "Ohhh man, I though we playin' blackjack 8-3 "
6-9 sooted or non - "this hand is orgasmic 69"
10-2 offsuit - "10-2 offsuit baby... DOYLE BRUNSON!!"

these are actual quotes from the maniac. He has dropped 40 in the past hands that he has stated this.

Anyways, after proclaiming his 10-2, we see the incredibally facinating flop of 6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

wow! flush and straight flush draw. Maniac bets 5, and I just call, as do 3 others.

when the 9 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] falls and gives me the straight flush, the SB checks, I check, next guy (player A) bets 10, fold, fold, maniac calls, and I just call.

7 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] falls and I pray for the fullhouse.
SB checks and I bet 20, next guy raises 10 (only? I thought he underbet there), SB calls, and I re-raise 30 more. Next guy folds and SB pushes in?? After all of those calls the push seemed out of place. I have my mouse in position for the call and I erily remember something like

"10-2 offsuit baby... DOYLE BRUNSON!!"

I scroll up and confirm that is what he said.


What do you do?
Results later.


How do you think they all played? After the hand, the "next guy (player A)" claimed to have "a top straight"


If SB had the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], how did he play it? Is relying on me to raise at the end after he just called player "A" too risky?

Who is the SB you or the maniac?

I would call on the end. With regards to your play, I would put in a big check raise on the flop. The players that called are likely holding Ad or Kd trying to hit a one card flush. You should make them pay to draw out on you.

This sounds good to me. Make those big diamonds pay.

being a maniac, wouldn't he play the same way with the deuce of diamonds? also, what are the odds that he'd play the same way with the ten of clubs, hoping his straight is good?

i can't see a fold being correct at all

Thanks for the interesting story.

I would have to say call just to see the hand [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

So, did he have the 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]?

Default 69.

69, for all you sexually frustrated grinders, is typically referred to as BIG LICK .
