PLO $25 - Bottom two against maniac

[Stoneburg]

Initial raiser is a very bad LAG, (71/22), re-raiser is even worse at 80/30. Both play horribly post flop of course.

Preflop I think the original raiser will re-pop with AA but call with the vas majority of other hands. SInce he raises so much he is unlikely to have AA (even more so considering I have an A and the re-raiser should have at least one more).

On the flop I am *fairly* sure he won't check/raise (he likes to just bet out).

With three players to act after you that's a horrible flop call.

Turn push after he checked seems a smart move, though. What happened?

[Stoneburg]

He folded to my push. Either smart enough to fold AA there or he was mini-reraising with a drawy hand that didn't hit.

I felt the preflop call was marginal but...

1. A suited Ace and three connectors is one of my favorite hands.
2. With one player at 20% pfr and another at 30% not many pots will be unraised preflop
3. It's not that likely to get re-raised because original raiser won't have a very good hand like 80% of the time.

I figure that if I don't get re-raised preflop I am in a very profitable place, playing a good hand in position against two maniacs.
