That was my confusion, but having watched the previous four hands that villain had just kept betting and betting and betting, I don't necessarily blame him.
Wetts I appreciate any advice you have as have won more money than I have , so I ask you at what point do you take the stand.? Everytime I was in the hand and bet he came back over the top. I knew I was was ahead and thought he might even fold, is 55 45 enough at this pointIt has happened with KK and QQ and tournament lives are on the line and they are out if they don't hit the Ace.

Dont put yourself in a fml spot where you know youre gonna have to fold to his 3 bet, so tighten your opening range, specifically this early where you have heaps of BB. Limit your opening range to premiums. Trying to out aggro a maniac is not the way to beat them long term.
