6-max, TT vs. 3-bet overshove from tilting maniac

No stats on villain, but he was playing short, I had stacked him earlier when he shipped overs+flush draw on the turn when I had trips. On the next orbit, he open-shoved 100 BBs from the CO when I was in BB.

What's my calling range?


Full Tilt, $0.25/$0.50 NL Hold'em Cash Game, 5 Players
Hand History Converter by Stoxpoker

Hero (MP): $130.85 (261.7 bb)
CO: $168.70 (337.4 bb)
BTN: $100 (200 bb)
SB: $50.95 (101.9 bb)
BB: $178.65 (357.3 bb)

Pre-Flop: Hero is MP with T T
Hero raises to $1.50, 2 folds, SB raises to $50.95 and is all-in, BB folds, Hero???

Uhhh, instacall? I call with like 99+, AQ+, and that's prolly sorta tight.

I only did a single fist-pump, should I go for the double fist-pump?

why dont you have stats?

Cuz the notes on his mental state provide more information than stats....

ya i was there for 15 hands, he was like 33/33/infinity

This is almost never going to KK/AA because he'd want to trap you with those hands. It could perhaps be JJ/QQ some of the time, but I think that doesn't fit too well either, and even then we're just dealing with 12 combos. I think you'll find K5o a decent chunk of the time.

I call and turn my attention to another table.

When your up against maniacs of this nature I think it's important to adjust and open up your calling range. I think C9 got it spot on tbh.

Yeah I figured I was about 60% or so against his likely range....I almost never expect to be behind here -- 22 was far more likely than JJ+.

Actually, if I suffered a pretty obvious bad beat and get dealt AA at the same table the next hand, i might just overbet shove it preflop because i'd expect people to believe it's tilt and call light. It's probably losing some value overall, but so much fun if it works.

The problem is for me to realise i was bad beated. Usually don't look at results of AI pots as i focus on other tables.

+1, best attitude one can have.
