Hero????

I am pretty sure this guy is going to push after draw #1, he has done it every time he has raised and gotten 1 caller. Reraise preflop and try to get some kind of control over the hand?

Will he call a re-raise preflop? Regardless I would re-raise anyway. Against a maniac you have an incredible hand.

Back to Hand #1. I don't know the odds but my insctinct says that standing pat with your T8 low and calling/pushing vs the maniac HAS to be very +EV. Am I wrong? (i've played 2-7 TD like twice in my life and have very little to no experience in the game).
