Hello. Here I decided to shove directly because villain was kind of a maniac, going all-in with full stack on 1st level with QTo and 3betting all-in with other non-premium hands throughout the game. I decided if I bet like 2bb or 2.5bb there was a big chance that he is going to 3bet all-in, so I decided to go for max fold equity against him because I didn't want to gamble against him considering his stack. I didn't want to fold AK either. So what do you think was the best play here?
I would also like to ask, would you min-raise/call against such loose player with hands like AT-AJ, and 77-99? Another thing that concerns me is that very often loose players with big stacks could just call and more often than not, you will miss the flop. So what do you do from there? Do you c-bet or check-fold, when you know that your opponent could be holding anything and you can't afford losing any more chips on cbets with your 10bb stack. Also these loose callers could call a cbet just because they are loose and have a gutshot draw, bottom pair on a dangerous board that could have hit you heavily but they don't think about that, they just concentrate on their bottom pair. Isn't it just better to go all-in preflop to avoid these type of dilemmas?
