Raise flop more, raise turn

Raise bigger on the flop (~$2.75). As played, make it $5 on the turn.

So no one else thinks the preflop line is dubious? Anyone think limping here is crazy?

Prop wouldn't be the worst thing in the world,but i don't limp buttons.

I def think limping has a lot of merit here since we know he's going to be 3betting a ton. I actually started to edit my earlier response to that effect right after I posted it but stopped only because stacks are ~160bb deep an we did only open for 2.5x. I do think limping or min raising preflop would be a better option though. If he always 3bets that large I like limping even more.

Against this guy I'd be limping quite a few actually. Following a set "rule" is fine right up to the point where not following it becomes more profitable.

Yeah, I kinda feel like keeping the pot small with an implied odds hand would be good. And making a bluff catcher with a hand like 22 or 56s could be pretty profitable against a spewy maniac like this guy.

Problem is, anyone can pretty much figure out when we limp, we can't have a lot of good cards in our range. Which sucks :|

I prop should have limped a few times to see what his response would have been.But i don't mine building big post with someone who calls big bets on river with mid pair.I was just worried he didn't have anything in this hand an was tring to let him bluff 160bb away.

He's not going to bluff 160bbs away if he bets this small on the flop and turn, so you need to raise it big. If he normally bluffs big, betting small here is a sign of strength if anything, even more reason to raise big...

What would you raise turn then 4x 5x?

5x or more, I know he's not folding any A or a FD, right? Set it up for shoving any river. Would be easier if you raised more on the flop, you can easily shove the turn then

I think raiseing the flop more could make my turn raise easier to get more money in the pot in.I did get lucky an manic villain caught two pair on the turn.If i get a chance to play this type again i'll limp a few pots with these hands an see how villain acts.

FWIW villain had 69 forgot to show results

Yeah so he probably bets it big with air (and poss nuts) and small with something, even a pair. FWIW you might scare him off with a big flop raise although he will still call it sometimes, but there is so much stuff that can call a bigger raise you end up missing value in the long run.
