Heads up vs a maniac

[lastsamurai]

Question.

HU vs a Maniac player who pushes all in 5 x in a row in a single table $25 turbo on FTP.
Blinds = 300-600
chip stack even.

Whats your call/push range?

[tozzy]

5x in a row from SB?
pushing range: any ace, king, queen, pair ofc, JTs and T9s
calling range: not remarkably tighter i guess.

[ger664]

We need to know the effective stack size before any meaningful answer/suggestion can be given.

seriously wtf. you wanan do the exact opposite of that (Assuming the blinds are big enough to matter)

[Hercules]

serious question? I hate to give this monotone answer, but ICM gives you an answer to every question of this kind.

Just plug the estimatet range from Villain (lets say 90%) in SNGPT/SNGWIZ etc. and the prog will spit out the answer.
IMO you should be prepared for situation like that, because they are pretty common (i.e: i am one of the guys who pushes like 100% from the SB with those blinds. After 5 uncalled pushes, every all in is basically a freeroll.

Btw...i would suppose Villain is smart if you fold to often and didn`t push by yourself...

How many chips are there total in these things?

5 pushes in a row doesn't seem like that many. Probably just means he's good and he thinks you're a nit.

Suggestions of how to play:

Like him.
