PLO25 vs maniac

I think you need to get it in for information at least, since you're behind only vs AAxx and ahead of the rest of his range. If he 3bets 57% of the time he probably goes broke quite loose. Although 17 hands it not that big of a sample :|.

Against a random 4 cards you're 60/40 ahead.

Kd Kh Qs 4c 59.46%
**** 40.54%

Against the top 50% of his range where he is folding garbage like 2269 preflop I think you're at best flipping a coin.

Given you can't improve on the flop often enough to stack off and the guy has position on you a fold to a 3 bet might be best here. Even so I am probably 4 betting and then stacking off on the flop.

should i fold to his 5bet?

Would certainly be a smart thing to do if you think his range is only AA at that point. Being unsuited and having a useless 4 in your hand really hurts you.

Kd Kh Qs 4c 25.43%
AA** 74.57%

I call 3 bet and if i dont get nuts on the flop i fold!

Maybe is good line (to hold pot low vs agresive player or to be after him!!!) realy to pay him 3-bet and donk flop for value75-80% form pot. If ne 3 bet again just fold.

Sit out from table, you r not in good posisin.

KKQ4 no suit is a very marginal hand and you have a small sample on him. I would fold to the 3-bet and it's actually a marginal open against a button that is that loose.

You should definitely move table/seat as this guy is going to make you life hell.

An alternative play versus a super-aggressive opponent with these stack sizes and that hand is to limp and call the raise that is surely coming. You can probably set-mine profitably that way, especialy if one of the blinds come along.

I don't see the point in calling a (surely upcoming) 3-bet. The stacks are too small (or too big) for that.

I certainly don't see the point in getting it in preflop. Even if you happen to be a tiny favourite, the rake will take that edge off your equity almost completely. What is there to say that this guy loves to give money away? Plenty of people love to 3-bet. Not many loves to shove it with complete trash.

Note, I don't say generally to limp with KKQX. It's just that if the read on the guy to the left is "maniac", then one only gets into this kind of trouble unless one modifies the opening range.
