Straight vs Maniac and 2 Pair vs Stupid Board

Yea i had a straight, and this sorry sack of anus worms decided to raise me almost allin representing the flush. I'm done with folding the 2nd nuts. In fact, I'm calling a lot more of this stupid bullshit tonight because that's what it is.

Ignore my 14 year old Phill Hellmuth's little brother table talk please. Thanks. Good calls?

Both are highly read-dependent, in my opinion. I think you have to call the 2nd one, maybe - it's a $10 call on a $38 pot. You only need to win that hand one time in five. The first one is tough, it would depend completely on how often I had seen the guy bluff.

I couldnt believe it when I won them both. The Ah that I read for the flush actually paired his kicker because he was in that pot with A4o....

The AK hand sure looked like a value bet but I called it because I didn't feel like being shown a bluff. Plus you're right, it was only $10 - I could have made that back with a couple of preflop raises.

Anyways, it seems like I am out thinking myself and giving too much credit to my opponents. Some opponents are impossible to read for a hand because they turn up crap like Q4s and A4o on a regular basis.

I just realized that I posted the same hand up there twice. Wow...
