I'm playing $.05/.10 6-max NLH with $20 max buy-ins. A maniac immediately to my left starts raising and reraising all-in every hand and type chatting bs, calling whole table pussies, etc. for not going all-in with him. Over about 15 hands, he's all-in 10 times. All of them produce all-folds.

I get AK in the cutoff, raise it standard, get rr, and rr back all-in. He obliges, shows down with JT, and the board is all blanks. Plus $10 to hero's br.

Two hands later I get KQ UTG and raise (not my typical play, but I'm hoping to get all-in again). Maniac has rebought for full $20 max buy-in. He rr's, and I rr all-in. He races me to the middle with chips, and shows down AT.

I gulp, ready to see him double through me. Flop's all blanks. Turn's a Q. River's a blank. Plus $20 more to hero. Maniac leaves table. Table congratulates hero.

The more I think about it, however, the more I wonder if these all-ins were really good plays. I like the first, w/ AK. But the second seems marginal. Let me know what y'all think.
