Against a crazy fool, Stars 50NL

Guy just went on tilt and is dumping every hand. Is this an auto muck here ? if so... how strong of a hand would i need here ? Just wondering i figure he is just pushing any 2 here.

Huh?

He's auto-pushing every hand and a shortstacked caller makes you fold AK? I don't get it.

The converter didnt work great i was the first to act after his auto-push. Half the table was yet to act here. So, with that added, I just wasnt sure with that many people still to act.

against a maniac who plays almost any 2 cards like this it is a very easy push imo.
the odds that someone has AA or KK behind you are more than 25:1 in your favor and it's almost certain that you have the bettor beat.

[kasey2004]

thats an easy push ? huh ??

Your telling me to push a full stack at a $50 buy in NL table preflop with AK ?

[jjacky]

yes, given your reads i would do so. against a reasonable player i would muck anything but aces.

[kasey2004]

Well it's easy if its going to be heads up... i hate putting $50 in the middle with 5 people left to act... does any one else like this here ?

please keep in mind that the risk that someone of those 5 remaining players holding AA or KK is less than 4% (it's 2.25% to be exact). that really isn't much of a threat.
