Newbie help re a few situations please

Ok so I have recently got back into poker and tried my hand at heads up. Currently playing 1p/2p at £5nl



Have gone from a deposit of £40 to £300 in about 25 days play (a couple of hours a night - and a good 6 hours at weekends).

I feel I have got the basic covered re position and button raising and adapting to the villian. I have a few questions re calling tilters. Have frequently got the the point in a game where the villian is

a) getting peed at me for constaintly raising the button
b) beating them in general

As a result many will start doing aggrr plays pre both in and out of position. So I have 2 main questions.

Question 1) The villian is on hyper tilt shoving all in every hand. What would you guys start calling with. Lets assume they have just been staked and topped back up to max so the stacks are £9.50 vs £5

Assuming they can have any 2 cards what are you calling with. I am currently looking them up when I feel I have a 75% chance or more of winning. So calling any pair including and above tens, AQ,KQ,AK,AJ,ATs and any ace bigger than A7

My thought process is I dont want to gamble too much. Are my calling hands okay / too tight?

Would I be okay to drop this to 88+ and JQ+ if the villian has only £2 left? or should I just leave unless he rebuys to the max?


Question 2)

i)Villan is semi tilting and raising random amounts on most hands. What would be the heros line in position with say JQ? say I called / raised and take it to the flop:

Flop comes KQ5. If the villain donk bets say 3/4 pot would a raise and call to a shove be okay here?

ii) another example

villian raises pos say 12p (ie an overbet - consistent with their semi tilting) would hero 3bet or call AQ OOP?

Say then the flop comes 35T? hero checks for example. villian 3/4 bets HERO?
or should i bet then fold a shove?



If any of you could give me some advice. either generally or in context with the questions it would be much appreciated.
