OK, this is one of those 'you had to be there' hands. Table has been pretty nutso thanks to 1 major league 'every hand preflop raising CBing calling station lucksack' a-hole. He is not involved in this hand, but has me on semi tilt thanks to a runner runner flush suckout vs my top set. I had doubled up my 2nd hand in then lost it back to him about 10 later.

Thanks to this guy, everyone is playing damn near everything fast and loose.

Pot Limit Omaha Hi Low Ring game
Blinds: $1/$2
10 players


Stack sizes:
UTG: $191.70
UTG+1: $281.77
UTG+2: $196.10
MP1: $184.43
MP2: $27.60
MP3: $200.15
CO: $190.50
BurdTurglar: $197.70
SB: $322.81
BB: $197.61

Pre-flop: (10 players) BurdTurglar is Button with
UTG folds, UTG+1 raises to $7, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, BurdTurglar calls, 2 folds. -

UTG+1 is the maniac, his raise means he has 4 cards and not much else. I call with position.

Flop: ($45, 6 players)
UTG+1 checks, UTG+2 checks, MP2 checks, MP3 bets $25, CO folds, BurdTurglar raises to $50, 3 folds, MP3 calls.

I don't have a read on MP3. I know UTG+1 has nothing this time, he has not checkraised yet. This smells like a steal (at least, it's a good spot for one) and I minraise. My theory on the minraise is a good player will read it as strength, a bad player will read it as the nuts. If he has the nut flush then it costs me less to find out. This might not be the optimal theory, but it's what went thru my head at the time. I also have an out to a str8 flush, hehe.

Turn: ($145, 2 players)
MP3 bets $142,


Well, I picked up 4 more outs. Does anyone call of their stack just to see if he's full of it?

BurdTurglar folds.

Apparently, I don't.

Thoughts?
