Hero ???

cortbass was 61/44/3. He was a 3bet maniac
I was wondering what do we do here on the flop? Shoving, we'll be called by any Q, but also by AA or JJ and maybe ATo. Do you shove? I don't think we can get away from the pot with all that money in it, can we?

[ChrisBCritter]

That flop sucks.

I don't see any way to get away from this hand though. And with the wide range that cortbass has, he could just as easily have nothing as something.

PUSH.

[Trashcona]

Is there any other option other then to push with so little behind in relation to the pot?

[Deanglow]

Against any decent player, you could put AK, AA, QQ, JJ (maybe 1010 and AQ) in his range. Against this type of maniac, you can add a shitload of hands that you crush, so I think you have a lot of value in shoving this.

What do you know about his post flop play? It's important to know if he continues betting like a maniac. I see value in check/calling a shove if you're sure he would bluff at it.

[Vrax]

That flop doesn't suck. Especially against 3bet monkey.

It's easy all-in, because you have only half-pot behind, half stack comitted preflop and possible AK, Ax and other drawing crap against you. Folding that hand in that pot would be absurd.

That's to big of a pot to risk check/check with vulnerable hand. Don't trap here. Go ahead and push, there's no other choice.
