when to call a habitual pusher

If he loses his money he may leave (or at least start playing normal). If he doubles up it's fairly likely he will not want to continue pushing with a double-sized stack. So you have to consider that you're probably only getting one shot at this. So I would treat this more carefully than I would against a maniac who I am certain will continue spewing until broke. As for A6o, it should be pretty easy to get a rough idea of your equity using PokerStove, but I'd be pretty surprised if there is much of any value in calling with it. Against someone pushing with the top 50% of their hands I am guessing you'd need about ATo+/77+ to call.

I agree very much with this.
