Default 100NL attempt to \"set up\" a tilter

Poker is situational and I wanted some opinions on ways to handle dealing with tilt (someone else's).

Villain is a fairly aggressive reg. (27/18/3) who hasn't reloaded yet and is clearly on tilt after suffering a hit n' run and losing some big hands. I am on a few tables with him and just sucked out with a rivered flush when he flopped two pair on another table (all in on the flop) when this hand occurs. He had been raising every hand on every table the past two hands or so. I am running around 21/16/3 or so if that makes a difference.

Cryptologic
No Limit Holdem Ring game
Blinds: $0.50/$1
4 players
Converter

Stack sizes:
UTG: $138.75
Button: $75.50
Hero: $103.25
BB: $69

Pre-flop: (4 players) Hero is SB with J[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UTG, folds, Button (poster) checks, Hero calls, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises to $5</font>, Button folds, <font color="#cc0000">Hero raises to $20.5</font>, <font color="#cc0000">BB raises all-in $69</font>, Hero calls.

This is an obvious raise normally but I fully expected a raise from villain especially because of the button poster/tilt factor and intended to reraise expecting to take down the pot.

How big of a hand do we need to do this?
Is there any reason to do this at all?
The call of the push seemed standard.

a limp re-raise is a clear sign of a huge hand, and even the most tilted of players will realize this. I dont think your hand is strong enough to go all in with here, or get cute with pf. the only hands i would do this with would be AA-QQ , AND most likely AK. But i would have to be very confident that the guy behind me was going to raise.




I think this play is very poor, and he most likely had you smashed. maybe im wrong but more times than not your gonna be beat here.


ps - "raising every hand for the past two hands or so" that doesnt sound like a maniac to me, maybe he just got a nice run of cards, thats like 5 hands...

Coin-flip at best, pick a better spot.

I call.

Coin-flip here buys us in correct? Already put $20 in the pot and only $49 more buys us in. The question becomes are we really coin flipping? I think here AQ+ is unlikely considering history and tilting player.

Anyone actually suggesting a fold for $49 to win $89 (he only had $69) vs what I assumed to be a fairly broad range? That was one of the reasons for the size of the RR.

Clearly tilting. Meaning raising/3betting pretty much ATC from any position. The recent aggression 7 consecutive hands on 3 tables after 3 bad beats could be coincidence but I was going with tilt.

Range: I really thought he could do this with any two. How small of a range do we have to put him on to make this -EV?
