PLayer is a big maniac fish. And I hitted straight.

I had a straight and decided to play aggressive against the big fish. Is this good played?

It is interesting hand. The question is about donking flop. Maybe also check/call flop and check/raise river would be nice line. If oyu have feeling that villain will call anything it is of course better to put all money in ASAP. If they are willing to pay why not to exploit that?

Hi Alan,

Yes, in those situations I am too unpatient to wait and don't want to play passive. If you end up with a small pot on the river, it is harder to get him all in there. But it is also hard to choose a right line for that. In this case he was agressive and crazy, so much easier to start straight away. I think a tight player needs another approach.
