Default creative or retarded?

.5/1 3 handed

shortstack is tight and very passive

big stack is a loose donkey

SB : 35
BB: 351
Hero: 135

Hero dealt TsTh

hero raises to 4, sb calls, bb calls

Flop : 3c5c8h
pot : 12
sb bets 7, bb calls, hero raises to 21 (I know i'm either wa/wb with sb, I actually think its more likely I'm crushed by him, but BB is a loose idiot, and i figure I can possibly extract 100 more from him) sb reraises all in, bb reraises all in

2 questions: do you like the play of sacrificing 30 to get 100 more off BB?

Do the rules of poker apply to a maniac? Obviously when a cold caller reraises all in it screams stregnth, but is this a call with TT being that the BB is a loose maniac? I assume he raises about 30-50 % of his hands, and he overvalues weak/holdings, but does this justify calling a strong line from him?

wtf are you talking about sacrificing? If BB is as huge a donkey as you say he is, insta call. You're prolly also pretty good with SB range.

im pretty positive that when i put the sb all in, he is taking that 30 from me, Ive been playing with him for a while and his lead is either 88,99, or a larger pair, yes this man just smooth calls jj-aa from the blinds. Because of his betsizing I'm pretty sure he's got me destroyed, does that justify me putting him all in and trying to build a bigger pot with the donk?

I understand "sacrifice." None of you played chess??

Hold 'em is just chess with invisible queens and a stack of pawns.

BB prob has like 4c6c OESFD, so it's an easy call. SB prob has top set, so you won't be getting that 30 BonEzZZZ back. It is worth sacrificing 30 bOOnnEEZZZzzZ though for ALL OF THE CHIPS of BB. You should have raised ALL IN on flop though, so you can put your opponents to a decision for all of their chips. that is what poker is about, not weak ass sacrificing. AMIRITE?
