Hello, in my last session I had problems with a villain that seemed a maniac but built a big stack in several tables. He made moves like this, pushing constantly pre.

At around 200 hands he was a 28/20 15bet

Actually i think this is a fold, if i had QQ i think its an easy call, but with JJ you could easliy be fliping, unless you think he is shoving with kj,j10,qj those types of hands then its a call, but with no reads this is a fold in my opinion

This is SB vs BB though, I think I would call if I think he is aggro.

if he is a very aggresive players who constantly pushes preflop this bet is an easy call, because the range of his cards are very high. he could be having 10, 10, 99, or even lower pairs. even if he has ak,aq, you are still having an edge. so calling is the best choice IMO

That's a ridiculous raise. I don't think you're dominated here (although you easily could be), it could easily be a coinflip with AK or AQ, or you could have him crushed if he's got an underpair. It is blind vs blind, I would expect the loose/aggro player's range to open up a little bit in that situation.

Strange spot, but I'd call and hope you aren't crushed.

The all in looks like ak to me, If he had aa, kk, qq he would've made a more sensible 4 bet. You're almost never behind imo so I would make the call (especially in blind vs blind)

Call. even versus tighter players sometimes. Against a maniac image type villain its an easy call.

Yeah if he is an aggro maniac then I think this should be a snap call as well!

I think villain could easily have AA, KK, QQ here and is just a donkey and shoves hoping others will call light...

That being said if this is the case he should be stacking you here because you should call, you are ahead of his range this is one of those spots where you just say "If you got me you got me"

Snap call and be happy, regardless of what he turns over.

Snap him off and scream "WEEEEEEE" while you do so. Be thankful you have someone that bad at your table

you said he was a maniac shoving pre...you got pocket jacks and then the maniac shoved pre...you call and win more then you lose, and that's it

sometimes he has AA KK and QQ...most of the time he doesn't

this is simply based on what you've told us about the player. its not even a close decision.

small blind vs big blind battle, JJ is always a call,

the range for him being in the BB is wider, so he could have from a monster to a low pair, suited connectors or Ax (from J to 2 and hi was behind) or K-T, J-T. Q-T even K-9 or Q-9

so you were ahead in most of the cases so next time make a call
