What would you do? #30

I've been sitting at this table where this erratic player - almost maniac has been raising crazy amounts. One hand, he'll raise UTG to $25, the next, $6, etc. He's a 64 / 39 / 3.3 / 50 / 0 over ~40 hands. What do you do here?

I think this is clearly a shove / fold situation. However, if I shove, he has about 2:1 odds to make a call. I think at best, I'm 50/50 with him. Do I really want to get it all in at a spot where I have 50% equity? As a note, I got it all in at a later hand where I held AK to his J9 and he spike a 9 and runnered Jacks to win my stack. He sat out shortly thereafter.7 folds

Final Pot: $1.25
UTG wins $1.25

  1. I don't think there is any need to gamble which is exactly what this player is looking for. Yesterday, someone at my table was doing the exact same thing with his last $15. I woke up to AK in the BB and finally snapped him off when he had open shipped QJo.

    I think you're range should be about 9s or 10s+, AQ+ against a maniac like this.
