Aria $1-2 ($5 to limp in) PLO
9 handed
Stacks ($500 max buyin):
Me: $600
Maniac UTG: $500
BB: $350
A couple of others cover me.
BB is a middle aged white male, maybe 50s, probably tourist, has been here an hour.
SPECULATIVE READ: Seems like a pretty typical and straightforward player. Default read is this kind of player is often playing "make a hand poker"; may overvalue non-nut draws but play somewhat scared with non-nut made hands.
Maniac pots to $15. EP and MP call. I'm in CO with A

. I call. BB calls.
Flop ($76 minus $5 rake)
QcTd4s
All check. I check.
Turn
Tc
I have trips top kicker and an overcard draw at 2nd boat.
All check to me. ?????
I bet $45. I'm probably best but there are a lot of draws I'd like to fold. I don't want to bet so little that good players play back at me. Frankly if the maniac check raises I'm probably willing to stack off so that could argue for a smaller bet.
BB calls, others fold.
River ($161 pot, $240 eff stack)
8d
I have the third nut full house.
