[5NL] QQ OOP against maniac.

    Default [5NL] QQ OOP against maniac.

    Villain was 48/44/44 (4/9, 3bet) through 28 hands. 0% fold to cbet, 0/2.

    I had just watched him bluff off 200bb obviously within 28 hands, with complete air.

    He had 3bet button raise in blinds with 42s. He had 3bet with 65s & Q8o, calling a 4bet with the Q8o.

    He had raised a flop cbet with air and also fired flop, turn & river with complete air.

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

    SB: $2.98
    BB: $14.79
    Hero (UTG): $10.75
    MP: $2.05
    CO: $28.48
    BTN: $9.53

    SB posts SB $0.02, BB posts BB $0.05

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

    Hero raises to $0.20, fold, fold, BTN calls $0.20, fold, fold

    Flop: ($0.47, 2 players) 3 K 6
    Hero bets $0.35, BTN calls $0.35

    Turn: ($1.17, 2 players) T
    Hero bets $0.90, BTN raises to $2.20, Hero ???

    Should I be getting it in here or wait for a better spot? I hadn't seen villain raising much, usually he was just calling but mostly he was the one doing the betting.

    If I had QsQx I would snap call.

    Call.

    Villain just picked up a draw, and any non-spade river is probably safe for Hero.

    Unlikely he had a K OTF, given your reads, but you only said how he plays his air, and not how he plays when he actually connects. So that read that he doesn't have a K might be exactly backwards.

    I hadn't taken note of them but he managed to stack off his 100bb within 3 streets twice, so I would assume they were pretty sizeable.

    Check/call turn and river, it makes you look weak and you can just call down profitably while giving him maximum chance to bluff off

    Then why not c/c. Let him bluff...

    Do NOT bet into this villain if you consider folding here. If it takes a strong hand for him to raise, then you're better off just c/c'ing.
