Well judging by his name, you should expect villain to be crazy.


Why do you 3bet a maniac with QJo in the first place?

thx for link, as for qj 3bet, its for value


50/25 with 40 fold to cbet looks more like a standard fish not maniac.
Pre flop is close. I would just call flop, raise is ok but you gotta to keep betting, fish don't fold to much vs raise but they do if you keep betting.

I had another session against same player today, that maniac whale tag was a miss, he God run today, not impossible he God run yestarday as well. It's really annoying, but if players run like Gods, we have no idea how they are playing actully. He is a bit splashy, way more merged than i tought....
