Last two tables (final 10?), I'm SB, BB is a maniac, all fold to me. I think my raise with KTs is pretty solid. BB calls, which I think she does here with almost anything. I'm not sure either about my contibet or my check-fold on the turn.

ok, now first of all if the bb is a maniac he is going to call your min bet with any2.
so K10 is better then an avarage hand . therefore you should bet higher 3bb -5bb

postflop the plan is to play aggressively if he hit and passively if not
as the maniac will call a lot of our bets with nothing.

the board is pretty dry and we do not have a strong hand .
we want to get the money in with the best of it .
he we did not hit. we can check the flop and see what tha maniac does.

if he bets, depending on the size we can still call or give it up here.

but the basic plan is to play strong hands and get paid out.

you can also just fold the hand preflop and wait for a better hand and play it agressivly to bust the maniac.

to be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

Hey Lathardi!

Raise pre 3x. cccp already explained it. He calls you pretty lose. k10s is a value kind of hand -> so extract value. On the flop you don't really get calls by a lot of worse combinations. So cbetting is not really good with a hand that has a little sd-value. I would check and see if and how much he is betting. You can call 1 - 2 streets depending on cards/betsizings!

Greets,
