Nightmare hand on a maniac table. FL 25/50 at Mansion

Since I dont have elephant I am going to recreate this as best I can, on this table honestly position mattered for squat, I got on to play tight and collect points from the crazies. This was the 3rd hand I saw at the table and while I knew it was loose I had no idea it was this mental.

Hero is dealt A :diamond: A :spade:

Preflop capped 5 see the flop of
Pot total $5

7 :heart: 5 :diamond: 10 :heart:

I raise and the pot is capped with 4 callers
Pot$13

Turn is

10 :diamond:

I check call in another capped round
Pot$21

River is

5 :heart:

making a full house for any 5 or 10 as well as completing the flush draw. I check fold as it is capped yet again.

Maniac 1 shows A :heart: K :spade:
Maniac 2 shows A :club: 2 :club:
Maniac 3 shows J :diamond: 7 :diamond:

Maniac 3 wins final pot of $27 with 2 mothefucking pair 7's and 10's

I just couldn't imagine my aces were still good with that board, should I have called the last $2 when under any normal circumstances I should be beat? Even with good pot odds there really should be no expectaion that I can possibly win the hand.

My question is given that the pot was offering 13.5-1 should I have called even knowing I should have been beat?

First of all use this site to convert your hands!

Second: NEVER fold AA in FL. Just call it down if you feel like being beat. And just NEVER EVER fold AA at a maniac table where every street is capped.


Hi Jonaton,

the action and the board is really ugly. I would call 2 bets for sure on the river but if you were faced with 3 bets at once it's really getting ugly. The 5 arrived as well as the flush so even if it hurts I think folding is not that of a big mistake. The best is to not look at the result aas this might make you start tilting. (Save the hand and take a look at it after the session.)
