Preflop Call

[kurto]

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t30 (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

What's the right move here... 8 people left. TAG will raise with Any pair, Any Ace-broadway from the cutoff. The maniac is an idiot. He has reraised from EP with hands like A8s, JQs, pocket 2s, etc.

UTG (t1490)
UTG+1 (t1910)
MP1 (t2275)
MP2 (t790)
CO (TAG)/ (t1735)
Button (t1095)
SB (MANIAC)/ (t2850)
Hero (t1355)

Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, J/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">CO (TAG)/ raises to t120</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB (MANIAC)/ raises to t210</font>,

HERO does what? Call? Fold? All In?

Push. TAG will fold most hands, and you will get action from maniac.

Any idea what SB reraises with? My sense is that you should push to either scoop the pot or isolate SB with a bad hand. I could see calling though--especially if you expect SB to make significant mistakes on the flop. I can't justify a fold.

He is one of those players who keeps making terrible plays and keeps lucking out (for instance, he called a raise and a reraise with A2os... and beat AK and JJ by rivering 2 pair)

I was more worried about the TAG then the Maniac.

Missed the "re" before the raise in your original description of SB; big difference. You're clearly ahead of CO's range of hands, and he's only beating you with 1.5% of hands (I think that's right), which is probably like 5% of his holding. Given the amount of many in the pot, I think it's a push.
