Tribeca 200NL 6max. I'm directly to the left of a nice little maniac. He's 68/24 FWIW. Some history first.

My first hand at table is checked down to river. Board is 88734 and the 4 completes the flush. He leads x2 pot and gets called by a guy. He had T2o no FD. This is a pattern. He loves to overbet steal. I saw him do it several times

After that he builds a stack from 50 to $500 in about 30 hands with stuff like he calls a raise with A2 and leads big on a KJ2 board. Leads turn too. River is another 2 and he wins.

1) My first big hand I have 9[c] T[c] and limp. Flop J[s] 8[c] T[s]. He leads pot as usual, I raise it up to $40 or so and he calls.
Turn a Q[s]. He leads 3/4 pot, I min raise . He just calls. At this point I know he doesn't have the flush.
River a brick and he open pushes, and I call . He had Q[h] 3[d].

2) Later we are HU again. I have 9[h] 9[s]. Flop is T[h] 5[c] 3[d]. He checks, I pot, he calls. We check it down from there. He has J[c] 7[d] and called a pfr OOP with it. Notice no river steal now after I called him in hand 1.

3) I get KK and reraise him pf he calls. Flop is rags and he leads near pot, I call. Turn is a rag, he checks, I bet 2/3 pot, he folds.

4) NOW THE HAND. I have $540 and he covers. He's continued being a maniac but hasn't gotten too involved with me. He limps, I raise to $15with A[h] J[h]. He calls as usual and so does another guy.

Flop T[h] 9[s] 2[s]. ($45) He leads $40, I raise to $100, other guy folds, and he thinks and calls.
Turn K[c]. ($145) He checks, I bet $120.

Thoughts? Suicide with big stacks or a good read based upon prior history?

I dont like it either, for already stated reasons. Just stick to pushing the fool around when you have the goods.

And your turn bet looks weak ass. Even the hand you're pretending to have looks like it would fold to a raise here.

Trod--
Isn't this the LAST guy you wanna do this with? He is a maniac, but from what you say not really a CS... You are gonna get all his money, unless you keep doing silly stuff like this...

Well done on pulling it off, but I don't think this is a long term winning play, sooner or later he is going to call you..

Also, I don't like the show, OK, so it feels nice to get a big-ish bluff through, but you just lost all fold equity with the table and that means it is going to be more difficult to get the pot HU with this guy again.
