How Do You Play This? : Hand Analysis

NL Holdem .25/.50 blinds.

Playing in a home game this game this situation came up. How would you play it? You are holding ATs and raise $2 before the flop. You get two callers, one of which is a maniac.

Flop 10 4 8 rainbow.

Player to your left bets $1. You raise to $4. Maniac goes all in. ($24 and all your stack.)

Player to your left folds.

Action is on you. Call or Fold?

I want to know what you guys would do?

He could have floped a set, 444,888 or TTT. Atleast I wouldn't consider calling 2$ with pocket 4's, bet if he is that crazy, he might have called.
Don't look like like he had 2 pairs... Who would call pre-flop 2$ with 48, 4T or 8T
Could have maybe a JQ, which would give him a straight with a 9... but...

Eh, I don't know, I think I would have folded that hand...
On the other hand, theres ~11$ in the pot, and he might want to bluff, on that weak flop... But... A bet and a raise before him... He should have something... Or he doesn't care about loosing money...

Tell the end of this hand

At first I wouldnt have raised to 4BB preflop with ATs and my action would be fold after the flop.

Well i was thinking about 1 minute and decided to fold :/ and what do you think, he didn't show what he had

A set or open straight with QJ maybe.

I was afraid to play with that lucky maniac i thought so too, about open straight, but i had nothing

I think you've chosen correctly. You had nothing... It was enough for him to have a pair...

I was thinking just because he is maniac and i saw when he takes pot with nothing, just bluff

if he is maniac, of course call, i had top pair with top kicker, call. If he tight, of course fold.

The answer to your question is compeletly dependent on the range of hands he could go all in with...

I don't know if you have ever used pokerstove. If not, I would go to there website and download it. It actually gives you a real answer.

If he is capable of doing this with Ten any kicker, a draw or second pair. Your going to have to call and pay off a set and two pair.

Against a maniac easy call.
You have top pair top kicker and he`s a maniac.
