Bovada Micros - Villain has 80BB - Hero has 180BB
Villain is totally 1000% maniacal in his betting and raising, but tends to fold/call in semi-normal spots. He shuts down relatively quickly when he's not the aggressor (or when faced with more aggression than he's delivering). I've been check-calling my good holdings and letting him bet them for me most of the time. How do I play this hand against this type? He also raises to about 4x every hand preflop.
I call on button with K
8
, BB raises to 4x. I call.
K8 would be a raising hand on button agaisnt most villains, right? But if he's raising my hands for me, should I still raise and risk facing a 3-bet I can't call?
Flop (8x): 8 T 6
Villain overbets to 12x...... Hero?
I'm not sure if my thinking is right but: If I call here, he's almost definitely betting turn huge (Maniac)...and if I don't improve, I can't call. If I'm behind here, by shoving, at least I'm giving myself a lot of outs twice while potentially getting better hands to fold.
