I practically beat him into the pot . . . I even said that I called before he finished saying all in, I believe. Anyway, he flipped over A6 offsuit. Turn was an A and MHIG.
I hope all of you aren't getting the wrong idea about me; I'm not posting any great, solid plays I'm making because I don't think they make for good discussion. The close ones are fun . . .
Thanks again,
Eric

I really don't see why you called one of his bets with A-10o to begin with. You've mentioned in other posts that there is a difference between playing "perfect poker" and the kind of poker that will win you the most money in a situation, and I strongly agree with your thoughts on that, but I don't think this means you call a raise of just under 10x the BB with A-10o. It is my understanding that the right way to handle maniacs is more like your earlier play with 7-7. Call with superior cards and get paid off. Play better than average starting hands against him so that when you do get into it with him you can confidently get a lot of chips in the middle. When your opponents are playing poorly it is rarely a good idea to play more like them (You don't normally call raises with A-10s, right?).

One time CRG checkraised a guy who bet $50 into a $200 pot on the river and had $50 left behind with K high, then muttered "he was supposed to fold" as the guy dragged the pot with top two pair. When I say crazy, I mean crazy.

POt is $80-85 when flop hits, then pot is $140ish when he pushes all in for $240 more, so $240 seems like a big price to pay for just TPTK w/ tens. Especially when he could have gotten lucky this once.
Keep your money until a better opportunity hits, then take his stack.

. CRG tosses in his standard $28 preflop raise from MP, and I smoothcall, as does the big blind, who is a sleepy fellow with about $400 in front. Three to a flop of:![[Ts]](https://livepokerforum.com/images/smilies/Ts.gif "The Ten of Spades")

($80)BB and CRG check to me, and I lead out for $60. BB folds and CRG immediately pushes all in. Thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Eric
