6.5 ITM vs maniac

[sixfour]

Notes: Guy shoving has been going all-in with ATC as he "needs to head off to play golf". Other player realises this as well. With this in mind, I probably ought to call this as I'm ahead of a lot of his range, but is there an argument for waiting a bit longer to see if the other player calls him and busts one or the other?

The first question is has villain actually shown anything so you know his is pushing with ATC or is there a chance he thinks he's being tricky by saying he's pushing ATC?

In any case, given that you're the short stack I would definitely open up my pushing range, but K3o doesn't seem good enough to push just yet. Someone with SNGPT can correct me if I'm wrong.

Call hands: 55+,A5o+,A2s+,K9o+,K7s+,QTo+,Q9s+,JTs (25%)

K3o plays sooooo bad vs random hands, plus this is a pretty decent and rare spot where waiting for a better spot is legit.

dj32 makes a good point. This is why I always have the chat box turned off. I'd much rather be the one shoving the K3 than calling with it.

Someone looked up a shove for 2500 at 50/100 when he had 52o, so ATC is fairly accurate
