Do you take small edges?

[Tilt]

Playing against a maniac who raises preflop 12XBB every hand. I know hes gonna bust out soon, but he has been catching cards and has tripled up fast with absolute garbage. He will call any preflop bet with any two cards.

50 NL, hes up to 150, I have 65.

Hes on the button, I am in the BB with TT. Folds all around and he raises his standard 12BB, SB folds. I push, knowing he will call with any two cards.

Is that a good idea?

[Wayfare]

yes

no, i don't take small edges b/c i'm allergic to money.

OK, OK, I know you are suposed to take this.

Seriously I find myself in this kind of preflop all-in madness against maniacs alot. And the variance gets hard to take.

And in this case Villain flips QQ and takes my stack.

it has to be done, if you don't take an edge this good (reading the title I was excpecting an edge like 51%) then you shouldn't be playing in the first place, unless it's purely for entertainment

If your description is accurate it's an easy push.

TT is 3:1 vs. a random hand.
