not like maniac,but likes to bet each time has a change, kind of guy that goes for senseless bet with illogical sizings(likes to bet 2$ what ever the spot is)


how should we maximize our value here? c/r small ott and shove river would be fine?as played +lead OTR?

obv., a spot for 'printing money' here, but sort of confused about extracting value 


c/shove doesn't achive this much, or does it?

I would not open that type of hand in CO with a maniac on the BTN.

As played, I would check-jam the flop. You do well against his range, but you're happy to take the pot down right now. You don't have much implied on your flush draw, it's better to think of it as backup for when you c/r and get called.

In general, when you're OOP with a hand that has good-but-non-nutty equity in a big pot, you prefer getting stacks in right away (and you don't mind when he folds).

Yeah, all of this. It's not a hand you wanna open when you're getting a ton of action from BTN, but once you reach the flop it's a really easy check/raise against an aggro w/ these stacks.

How do you think about calling the 3bet pre 3way? Our hand has zero nut potential and we need a magic flop like this one to continue. The only thing I like here is our good relative position.

It's not a great spot, but at this point we're getting like 5:1. I think the price is just too good to fold. I'd agree with ZenFish that we shouldn't open this hand in the first place, largely to avoid spots like this.
