    Default vs a true maniac

    Maniac was a true maniac, VPIP 64% PFR 55%, WtSD 62%, W$SD 36%, Agg 9.22, WR 34BB/100 over 60 hands. Most of this was at a full table, but he just ran off 4 players that got tired of his play.

    LPP had a VPIP of 47%.

    Please critic play. I don't like to get heads-up with maniacs in split games unless i have really good 2-way potential since they always seem to snag one half the pot.

    Ultimate Bet 0.50/1 Omaha/8 (6 handed) converter

    Preflop: Hero is SB with , , , .
    UTG calls, 1 fold, CO =#A500AF(Maniac)/ raises, Button calls, Hero calls, BB =#A500AF(LPP)/ calls, UTG calls.

    Flop: (10 SB) , , (5 players)
    Hero checks, LPP checks, UTG checks, Maniac bets, Button folds, Hero calls, LPP calls, UTG folds.

    Turn: (6.50 BB) (3 players)
    Hero checks, LPP checks, Maniac bets, Hero calls, LPP calls.

    River: (9.50 BB) (3 players)
    Hero checks, LPP checks, Maniac bets, Hero calls, LPP calls.

    Final Pot: 12.50 BB

    I'm raising preflop, calling flop, raising and reraising turn and river unless the other player sticks around. then I'll just call

    You should be trying to get heads up with maniac here, you could force another A3 to fold or a shit flush or bigger straight.

    I don't play a lot of Omaha but for what its worth;

    On the turn You had 6-5-4-3-A for low and 3-4-5-6-7 for high which should be good enough for a raise/re-raise. Only A-2 has you beat for low and 7-8 and/or 2 diamonds for high! That's pretty strong.

    The raise/re-raise would hopefully force out the LPP if not the maniac and if it doesn't win it right there at least your win odds go up for both high and low with one less player. On the river I would probably lead-out and not attempt a check-raise but would re-raise the maniac and just call a re-raise from the LPP.

    There are no reads on your opps (I find getting a read in Omaha very difficult in any case) as maniacs play (and bet) anything and so do LPPs so they both could have the nuts or absolutely nothing - the showdown will tell.

    So did you sweep?

    Edit: Maybe I should have qualified why I would re-raise the maniac but not the LPP! B/c I hate the bastards and try to bust them any chance I get!!! LOL

    yeah I did, I was really shocked neither of them had diamonds. i figured LPP had weak diamonds. and I dont think either would fold.

    ends up LPP had 442x and and maniac had 23xx.
