if he is such a maniac then the call is not wrong, you need around 41% equity to call there. against some ranges you have that are:

Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 41,678 % 41,339 % 0,679 % 57,983 % 33
Player 2: 58,322 % 57,983 % 0,679 % 41,339 % 77+, A9s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+

Board:
Dead:

Equity Win Tie Loss Hand
Player 1: 40,761 % 40,000 % 1,523 % 58,477 % 33
Player 2: 59,239 % 58,477 % 1,523 % 40,000 % 22+, A9s+, KTs+, QTs+, JTs, ATo+, KJo+

a maniac should be looser than this, and the call becomes less marginal but it's never a huge +ev spot imo , it's too marginal spot to put a third of your chips so I'm likely just folding even against a maniac.

QJ hand, i like the bet on flop but not sure about the rest. I guess he had a worse Q, maybe QT, Q9 but could have been on a flush / straight draw.
I would check/call turn and river or check/fold depending on bet size.
33 hand, i fold to push, even against maniac pushing with any 2 you are flipping at best, totally dominated at worst.
BTW the plural of fish is fish ;) unless you are referring to different species of fish of course in which case it is fishes LOL

QJ nh

33 - fold it; or else play bingo! because really your gambling for a big enough chunk of your chips...i mean as stated at very best your 50/50 with ATC - realistically he probably doesn't have 2x in this spot - i'm folding and waiting for a better spot :)

check out my post in MTT - may well the same maniac !! Grrr...

Sabo :club:


nh with QJ, i bet bet bet here too.
with 33 i think im gonna fold this one. this call costs you alot of your chipstack.
but true against a complete maniac you got the odds for taking the flip.
but still i dont like those calls with low pockets.
