Default Guy on monkey tilt, huge overbet, MHIG?

$1/2NL 6-max game

Villain is on crazy monkey tilt and is also a huge fish. 10 min prior to this hand he had $500+, lost $200 to the other huge fish at the table, then started his tilty rampage. He soon gets stacked by a TAG for a $600+ pot w/air, buys in for $100, loses it in like 3 hands, then buys in for another $200 when this hand comes up:

Villain $198
Hero covers

Dealt to hero on B: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Pre-flop: fold to Hero who raises $7, Villain re-raises to $31 in SB, BB folds, Hero calls $24

I almost always fold KJs here, but I really can't give this guy any credit given his current state.

Flop: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Villain bets $155, Hero?

I really think my hand is good here. I don't see this guy making such a rediculous bet with a made hand. It's obv shove or fold. Thoughts?

I think it comes down to your instinct here, he could very well be bluffing, but your hand isn't exactly great and he could have hit the flop. I think you call and pray.

Not much help I know.

..i think this is completely read dependent, and youre biasing the hand by jading us

personally, id wait for a better spot than kj, even knowing his state, but whatever; its a high variance play

if you have a read, go with it

shove

I'll usually fold to the re-raise preflop unless you know EXACTLY how easily this guy is going to play and give his stack away. You can pick better spots.

Flop is indeed a tough decision, but I'd probably fold. If you can't "see this guy making such a ridiculous bet with a made hand", then you should go with your instinct and call.

EDIT: Also, in my experience, if a guy is tilting bad and overbets, it's very frequently a big hand. This seems especially true if the tilting person is usually a good, solid player.

Let's say you strongly feel you have the best hand here. How many of you still fold?

If I strongly feel I have the best hand then I'll call in each and every situation. When someone offers you 1:1 and I feel that I'm a greater than 50% favorite, then calling is +EV even if the pot size is $0.

EDIT: Unless I feel that I can get the same money in when I'm an even bigger favorite. When playing poker with more than one other person, this is not always guaranteed.

Word up. I call these a lot and it seems like their rags always improve. Also they actually have something once in a while, like Q5 or some [censored].
