AA redeems itself against insanely loose player

[nsdjoe]

Button is ridiculously crazy player.

After raising 80% of the hands played at the table for 45 minutes (and getting outrageously lucky by winning quite a few of them) the maniac's luck finally runs out.

Yeah, but by how he just called my check-raise, i'm inclined to believe he would have just called an initial bet too.

Sounds a bit results-oriented to me. In my experience, checkraising, especially on big streets, announces your hand to all but the biggest of donks. Betting will often look like a stupid AK that doesn't want the river to get checked through, and you stand a greater chance of keeping CO around.

You said the Button was ridick crazy. Trap the middle player, don't force him out. Also saves you from an embarrassing check-through.

[nsdjoe]

I believe you guys are right, in hindsight b/3b seems like a better plan. Next time [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

CO put the last raise in on the turn, not button. We have no reason to not expect a river bet from CO. If we check-3bet, then he may fold though.

So a bet-3bet can still work here, but only b/c of the read on button.

(seemed like you were commenting as though button capped the turn, so just making sure)

From his reads, we know Button isn't folding, even if CO raises. So why not bet? We don't have a read on CO but know that he put the last bet in on the turn.

Consequently, I'm betting with the intention of capping.

I'm glad you caught the 4th Ace and won. Hands like this can cause major tilt when u lose them. Guys calls a 3Bet preflop with 46 and makes a straight.
