Villain was a complete maniac as of this point in the session, though he seemed to calm down somewhat later on. He still has the little Taz symbol in my PT database though.

Full Version: qjo versus maniac
so read dependent.
He was super maniac...well then cap preflop
cap flop.
Raise turn..and maybe slowdown then...
it's too read depndent.
Here's a better question:
How do you play this differently against a 22/9/2 ?

Do you think you're ahead??? If the answer to this queston is yes, then I think we have to cap on the flop and then re-evaluate the turn. If we were ahead on the flop, then I think we have to cap the turn as well - that 3 certainly didn't help him. On the river I just call.
If he has AA or KK, tough luck, if he had AX, or a
draw, we should've punished him on every street. I'm not sure if we win this one, but I feel like we may have missed some bets along the way.

@ Actuary: The brief answer is "go into calldown mode sooner than I did".
Also: I was pretty confident I was ahead here, so in hindsight, capping some street--maybe flop, maybe turn, I don't really know which--would have been a better move.

cap flop and then call down if he keeps betting into you. i guess it depends how much of a maniac he was. was he a complete maniac who caps with anything or just an overaggresve guy?
For a maniac I don't think capping preflop is good.
We have position, so raising should only be for value (and not fold equity) and we're behind to A-anything and K-anything.
I think acceptable call-down levels are "cap flop, raise/call the turn."
I want to get the last bet in on the flop, and raise his lead bet on the turn. If he wants to keep shooting after that, I'm fine with calling down.
