8-16 at Commerce.

I'm BB with AsQs. Early, mid, 2off and button limp. SB calls and I check. 2off is LAG maniac who I haven't been able to run down yet.

Flop comes AhQhTh. SB checks, I bet, 2off and button call.

Turn comes Kd. Now what?

I bet, 2off raised, button folded and I folded.

Raise preflop. I'd raise down to about A8s here. AQs is a slam dunk.

Flop/turn seem fine. I think I prefer b/f to c/c on the turn.

Most people would raise this hand PF, I would not. What is your reasoning for betting the turn?

I raise pre 100% of the time. AQs is a fantastic hand to raise the field out of the BB. Checking is concerning and might indicate a general leak of below optimal pre flop aggression.

As played check turn, and consider call down only if heads up vs. LAG maniac.

AQs is a monster in any position. Checking back PF is really, really bad. From the BB, PF is the only street where you will assuredly have great position to value bet this monster. So do it. If you flop big, you are going to kick yourself for playing it so soft.

You have to lead this flop because you don't want to let the 2

draw for free. And this board is going to freeze up most of your opponents. Unless they've got broadway or the flush.

B/f is the right call on the turn. At least when CO raises into the BTN.

Raise pre-. I x/c turn and hate it, but we have too much showdown value to justify a bet/fold.

I would raise pre flop.

I like the flop and turn bet. I would call the turn for one bet because you described the player as a manic.

If i counted properly there are 6 big bets in the pot, you have 6 outs the a flush that would beat a strait or flush that the manic could be representing. you also have 4 outs to a strait that may be beaten by a flush or may tie, but you did say he is a manic so i would give the strait draw a value of 2 outs. That gives us 8 outs so calling for one bet does make sense to me.

I would plan on calling one more bet on the river. If you do make your full house you can check raise the river for an extra bet.
