Raise preflop.

Flop: I probably 3-bet this, though going for overcalls can't be terrible. SB and BB like their hands enough to bet and call, so I don't think they are folding here for two more.

Turn: Good.

River: At this point, I go for an overcall (and hope BB wasn't just calling all along with the K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]); it's close between raising and calling. I never cap the river, unless MP2 is a maniac.

I would three-bet the flop and hope he didn't get the full boat on the turn. I would have played turn and river the same.

32 hands is nothing, but that aggression is VERY high considering his VPIP.

i 3-bet the flop since your relative position will suck for the expected turn bet and your raise. this guy may not slow down either. turn cap is good. BB will call with a single big heart. the river changes nothing. the first raise is good. the cap is close and really doesn't matter since he can't 5-bet.

1.47 is closer to LAG than Maniac, AFAIC. Even then, manaics get hands sometimes.

Your hand has to be good 55% of the time for each bet to be good once BB drops out. I think it's close, but I just call the 3-bet rather than capping.

That 2 of diamonds falling sure screwed things up for you. Personally, I would have put the brakes on when MP2 3 bet the turn. He is acting like he had a set which grew into a full boat, or is a convincing liar.
