I called. The turn was the
and he river the
, probably two of the worst cards to come off. Thankfully he had QTo and I won.
I think the fact he was a maniac is what made me make this call, and I would have folded if he was an unknown - for the reason that when he's ahead (set or straight) i'm drawing very thin with 4 outs at best. When i'm ahead, he almost always has 8+ outs with some sort of diamond draw or straight draw + pair. I really need him to be pushing QT and K8 and single-pair hands here I think.

It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
