Ok, 3 handed NLHE home ring game. It's almost like a small 5 player tournament. We each start with 1500 chips.

Reads: Button(about 2000 chips) is a wild loose aggressive player who raises on any 2 cards, BB is a solid aggressive player (2500 chips)

Blinds 40/80

Hero (about 3000 Button raises 5x BB, I call (hoping to trap him) and the BB completes.

Flop: Q icon_suit_heart.gif 10 icon_suit_club.gif 3 icon_suit_heart.gif I bet out half the size of the pot, BB calls, and Button raises. (i'm not giving the Button much respect now, maybe a flush draw?)

I reraise, and the BB folds AQ because he flipped it by accident. Button goes all in.

Hero?

Super easy call. This is exactly what you wanted to happen when you smooth called preflop, folding against a maniac here would be ridiculous.

Result:

I called, and the maniac had pocket 10's...I still had a nice few chips left, and i ended up coming back and winning.... I don't think I could have gotten away from AA there. being a maniac, i rarely give him respect for a hand.
