Range to call someone who is tilt-pushing
Was playing an online MTT last night ($10 buyin). Avg stack is 1700 (so still early, level 3 I think) and I have about 2500.
The big stack at the table takes a huge hit (not really a bad beat, but I recall in some book "Don't go broke in an unraised pot"). Basically he let the blinds in cheap, one boated on his AK high flush, money card was on the turn for both players. Anyway, he's crippled now, ranting like crazy in the chat box, starts pushing every hand. 325, 450, 500, 1200 (someone looked him up), ...
He kept doing it until he was out even though he had gotten back to a decent chip stack with the double up. I was actually floored by how many ppl kept limping in even after the 3rd push in a row.
So what range/position do you need to raise/call here? The very first hand of the insanity (325 push UTG) I had K8o on the button and almost took the risk. My guess is it would have been 60/40 with me in the lead PF.
Should you reshove to get isolation if you choose to play? Flat call to try and get a multi-way just to get him knocked out?

you have to consider the long run in MTTs. winning a minor pot in the third level and knocking out a donk is decent, but it's not your overall goal. call him if you have the cards to back it up (with a somewhat more open range compared to others), but don't take unnecessary risks this early simple because a donk is constantly pushing.
