Against a maniac I dont mind the way, this hand was played. We could fold preflop to his 3-bet and wait for a better hand. But once the decision was made to call, and we see this fairly perfect runout for our hand, we just have to go with it in my opinion.

We could check-call the turn obviously, which would leave around a half pot bet behind for the river. But I am not loving that, because then we put ourselfes in a situation, where we probably have to do a lot of bluff catching on the river, and its just not a fun spot. For me its kind of tilting, if an overcard like a J hits the river, he move all in, I make the hero call, and then he flip over a hand like KJ or QJ, that got there on the end.

So I perfer to get it in on the turn and put the decision on him. For sure all his better hands are going to call, so we are not bluffing here. But even when we are behind, we are often going to have as many as 15 outs, so its not exactly the end of the world. Yes its high variance, as some said, but guys this is 2NL. Its 2 bucks to reload, so it really should not matter to anyone to suck up a bit of variance in these games.
