guy was a maniac. mark at the table. 68/44 doesn't fold to 3bet.

wasn't folding to a cbet and was betting almost every time when checked to, usually 1/2 pot w merged range pretty much clicking buttons.

I should have def 3bet more, dunno why I 3b so small.

What do you think is the optimal plan for the hand when this flop hits?

i start with a cbet ...

so did I, cbet 7.5 he called and turn is an 8d

c/c, evaluate river imo

if I c/c his turn 1/2 psb bet, there will be 57 in the pot with me having 21 left.. cant fold much rivers than I guess..

but if he is a maniac ... then maybe he has ... smthing worse...

If you bet turn, he will fold his worst hands most likely. And since he is a maniac, he may bet turn and river with air, giving you more value outta your hand.

c/f turn , cant really c /c turn imo

yep, thinking about it now, I like cbet and than going into c/c mode, should keep most hands I beat in his range

bet 5 on flop, 5 on turn, 5 on river

-_-

and burn your money...

if hes a maniac, just c/c all 3 streets.

it's a useful line vs some players in certain spots but seems wrong vs a maniac here imo.

1/2 pot - c/c down seems right vs this player type in general

use reads tho, dont just instacall each street, if he gives you a good reason to fold, you can still fold vs a maniac

this is usualy my line vs this type of player

I'd prob just check call every street against someone who's always very agressive when checked to

I like c/c all streets more than bet c/c down line - just let him have widest bluff range and he can also bet all 3 streets w/ Jx, when you check to him
