So after a rough start where I lost 200 bb, I racked up on of my best wins ever tonight. I was 2-tabling and by the time I left the tables I had 600bb on one table and 400bb on the other. Thought y'all might enjoy this hand from the session.

I almost folded to the turn check-raise - against a solid player I would have, but this guy is a maniac. He is constantly calling down bets with bottom pair, and betting for value on the river with low pairs. I cannot count the number of times I've folded out a superior hand vs this guy only to see the weakness of his hand when it gets to showdown. My plan was to evaluate river and likely fold to aggression, until I made what was essentially top-2 on the river. I checked the river since he raised turn with a plan for calling whatever bet he made - I wasn't anticipating he would jam but c'est la vie.
