Hero Call Here vs A Maniac?

you don't block so many flush combos, since villain is most likely playing literally any two suited ♦ but it's a nice card to have.

this may be a spot where check/calling the river for pot control and bluff inducing is a good line, since this villain is most likely going to be overbluffing by a lot.
as played, it's sick ♦ i love his line, honestly.

when playing such opponents, i like to fight fire with fire. figure out if they have folding range, then start check/raising aggressively yourself with either draws or top pairs.

PFR would be a useful stat as well to know how aggressive villain is pre-flop.

If villain is aggressive post-flop I would check/call the river on a reasonable bet. Against a passive player I would bet/fold as well for thin value.

I like to bomb a flop like that vs a maniac, but the bet sizing is still fine as you keep some of his bottom pair and back door hands in. The river is such a bad card as the way its been played his hand looks so much like a small flush, like Tomaloc said maniacs like to play any two suited cards.
The other problem is there are 2 pair and some sets to consider and a straight. Maniacs play their garbage one way and then with their nut hands they take a different line, it doesn't look like a bluff to me.

I do like his bluff...:appl:
