[5NL] JJ against maniac.

Results 1 to 5 of 5
  1. #1

    Default [5NL] JJ against maniac.

    Villain is 46/31/8 (3bet) through 134 hands. Cbet 63%.

    Notes on villain: Passive with draws, becoming agg when he makes his hand. Had seen him 3bet previously with JTo and 88.

    PokerStars - $0.05 NL (6 max) - Holdem - 5 players
    Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

    SB: $2.12
    BB: $3.63
    Hero (UTG): $5.94
    CO: $5.28
    BTN: $2.95

    SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

    Pre Flop: (pot: $0.07) Hero has J J

    Hero raises to $0.20, fold, fold, fold, BB raises to $0.50, Hero calls $0.30

    Flop: ($1.02, 2 players) 3 2 Q
    BB bets $0.30, Hero calls $0.30

    Turn: ($1.62, 2 players) T
    BB checks, Hero bets $1.00, BB calls $1.00

    River: ($3.62, 2 players) 7
    BB bets $1.83 and is all-in, Hero ???

    Not sure what to make of villain's line, it really confused me.

    I thought I was ahead on the flop and on the turn, then he shoves a blank river and I'm not so sure anymore.

    I thought he might have had a busted club draw, maybe TT and all kinds of air.

    Should I call here?
    Currently grinding live cash games. Life is good.

    behind you with an axe
    I'd call. But I have no idea how to formulate a range here, he could have anything including lots of air. I'm pretty sure there's enough air in there to warrant a call when you're getting 3-1.

    I would fold, this line is weird and makes no sense but I don't think ppl are bluffing here. This is based on the reads and description you provided.

    Nothing you provided really speaks to him being a big maniac... if he's actually a crazy spewfest maniac then this is a snap call. He seems loose for sure, but mostly loose passive by your description.

    I mean you said it yourself, he doesn't go aggro till he hits.
