Villain has been playing wildly - lots of all-ins with horrible hands. I was convinced that I was way ahead of his range here, but I know I was also trying to fight back tilt, because his play was frustrating.

The question is this - knowing that I'm way ahead of his range, do I take this edge, knowing that he's going to give his chips to someone and I want to be that one, or was it a dumb move to take this risk, since I was clearly in good shape going into this hand? Having decided to make the call, I assume I should have pushed to increase my chances of getting this heads up.

If he's that crazy, push this to isolate.

He may be crazy, but I don't think that is reason enough to call into a possible 60/40 situation that will hurt you pretty bad if you lose. Youre sitting good now with your stack, wait for better spots and let the donk get knocked out later on, you don't need to win his chips here.
