Hand analysis ( I was called a Maniac for this play by a fellow BTPr who was at the table so we will get verification on that )

Notes on Villain
Iv played w/ this guy several times, loose and tends to over play weak/middle pairs.

Board pared, but a .50 bet into a $13 pot? his bet looked very weak and was expecting a fold from him, when he called it made me think he probably had trips.

I didn't see what the guy had when this hand played out. Nice that the hand history shows it. I gotta get my HHs from GC sometime.

I called you a maniac because I was sure you were on a big hand with your re-raises. Especially when he pops you for a min re-raise on the flop and then leads super-weak on the turn: I was smelling a big hand from him, trying to entice you into making it a big pot for him. So I was looking for at least two pair from him and hoping you had a set to beat him. But then he didn't re-raise again on the turn like I expected him to, and I got confused.

I guess he had like J7 or something? And he's re-raising you on the flop? Sheesh.

I guess that's why it's important that you had a read on the guy. I didn't.

Anyway. Nice job. Nice check on the river, too.
