100nl - AK flops top pair

Guh, hate these spots. Villian is 81/6/2.13 only after 16 hands though. The hand before this he had coldcalled a maniac's minraise preflop, and so did I, and I flopped a set and stacked the maniac. That's about as much as I can say about my table image while this guy has been around; I had been pretty much folding everything up until now.

All-in against this guy. He can easily make a tilt call (or just a bad one) here.

With stats like these i think the play is to push the flop and see him call with Kx (or 2 pair or a set). You are definately ahead of his range. Also, you didn't mention what his line was when he flopped a set, did he min-raise the flop or wait til the turn?

Edit: oops misread.. you stacked him not vice versa.. yeah i would say push..

I reraised it to $60. It left him with $13 so he was basically all-in, but in a way that didn't completely announce that he was. I feel by just reraising I'm letting him commit himself with a worse hand more often than he's going to call a push with, even though to me they're the same thing.

Maybe this seems weak, but I would put him on Aces and fold. With these stats, you will get better spots to stack him. Don't let a bad player stack you, just because he is lucky.

There's a chance hero is beat here, Degas, but there is also an EXTREMELY high chance hero is ahead. The fact villain is a bad player makes it IMPOSSIBLE to put him on EXACTLY AA.
