2/5 AA river decision vs Extreme LAG/Borderline Maniac 200BB deep - Page 2 - Live Low-stakes No Limit Poker Forum

Flop is a range check. Middling montone boards are the worst boards to cbet.

Villain will have both more top pairs and more flushes than you.

Also it is effectively 100BB's deep since the straddle becomes the new BB.

What's the rest of the tree look like (roughly) from here? We're x/c this flop for any size up to PSB and on this turn, if they PSB again we play a mix of CRAI or fold depending on our exact holding?

I don't see any reason to check this flop. I'm pretty sure he's calling any pair; though he may fold 3x if he has no heart. He'll also be calling with K

, Q

, and maybe T

. He'll likely spazz just as often if I check vs if I bet.

I see more reasons to bet here than check.

You should be playing closer to theory when you're vs a maniac because he will be able to put you in tougher spots post flop.

Against a fish you can deviate.

It is hard to range Villain here since the Button straddle makes the hand unconventional but it is probably similar to a BB calling range vs an SB open minus the high frequency 3betting.

With this exact hand we x/c down.
