Do you take small edges?

Tilt · #1 03-22-2005, 06:17 PM

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?

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.

If he isnt a super rational player and the variance causes him to steam......

Wait, naw just push.

So, I wanted to find out if Wayfare would also just push in this situation, or wait for something better. I guess I have my answer!

By small edges do you mean gaping huge edges? And by would wayfare push, and you were serious he was raising 12x bb every hand, than the answer would be most definately.
