Read on villain was somewhat of a maniac.So far only 40 hands or so,only 3 knowns-JJ,77, and Q9o.
Pre-flop: (10 players) Hero is MP2 with :kd :ad
2 folds, UTG+2 calls $0.25, MP1 calls $0.25, Hero raises to $1.25, 6 folds, MP1 calls $1.
Big Slick suited with position.Not too bad.
Flop: :6h :qh :6s ($3.1, 2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero bets $2, MP1 calls $2.
Dangerous board with the flush draw and pair;I wouldn't put villain past A6s or Axs for a hand.I bet out being that I have position and check on the flop vs a maniac is inviting a turn bluff.
Turn: :8c ($7.1, 2 players)
MP1 checks, Hero checks.
I decide to check for a free card.Turn hasn't helped me and if I am behind I may catch up on the river presuming he doesn't hold trips(I am ruling out a boat as I would expect the worst of maniacs to at least bet the turn fearing a fold on the river if the turn is checked.
River: :jc ($7.1, 2 players)
MP1 bets $3, Hero folds.
Uncalled bets: $3 returned to MP1.
So basically I can only beat a bluff at this point.Question is whether or not villain is betting a busted draw or a pair.$3 into a $7 pot so $3 to win $10 gives slightly better than 3-to-1 odds.So if I am good 33% of the time verse a bluff I break even.
Results:
Final pot: $7.1
Thoughts?Anyone bet the turn or was this played ok?
