seems like its hard to admit that the poker gods have it in for you on the days where it seems like EVERYONE and their grandmother is playing back at you (even the rocks start in on you). everything you do gets raised or check-raised or floated. when really its the fact that they hit their card and are only betting it. or, the maniac woke up with a real hand.

very trying on the patience to fold...fold...fold...after taking initiative.

anyway, the question that pops up after seeing it quite a lot so far today is:

you raise pf with JcTc and the button. semi-maniacal player in blinds calls with a 400bb stack (you have 100). flop comes Kh Jh 7c. he bets, you raise 3.5X (he donk bets 50+%), and he insta-shoves over you.

coming from a semi-maniacal player oop (who doesnt appear to be completely stupid) isnt this either a REAL hand, or a big draw most times?

question two...what is your calling range? because i know you dont call with 2nd pair w/o a MUCH better read.
