IMHO you played the hand very well with info at hand until the river where i question the cap. You maximized value but when he came back over the top for 3 bets on the end I think I put the breaks on right there. I suspect you were thinking only of your hand and lost sight of the board possibilites... thus hitting raise as fast as you could. Maniacs even know you won't lay down with the pot that large on anything but an outright missed draw, which didn't seem possible from your betting. With 2 ways for a str8 possible on the board (as unlikely as it was), I keep the extra bet and see hi
