So i was playing some $2-4 NL last night on Full Tilt. 3 different 6 max tables at once. There was one player that was at all my tables. He takes a bad beat and i see him go all in the very next hand at both the other tables. He continues to raise alot of pots and will go all in for the close to $1,000 he has at two of the tables on the flop. These pots he is moving into are only $20 - $30. Once i notice this i start playing any decent hand to his big preflop raises figuring i can catch him and double up. i do so when i call a $25 preflop raise with 44 and flop a set. so im sitting good at around $1,000 at this particular table. he continues his crazy play and actually wins some showdows. so he is sitting with slightly over $1,000. Then the following hand comes up.
6 max
I am on button and dealt :As: 
He raises from MP to $25
I call and we see a flop
(Normally i wouldnt even consider calling this but with how crazy he has been playing my ace high is probably good and the suitedness gives me the opportunity to win a huge pot from him and his Tilt-y ways)
flop comes   :Th:
he immediately goes all in for close to $1,000
Now the question is do i call here with what i feel is still the best hand (even though thats only ace high) and a moster draw?

I'd look for a better spot. If you hit an open ended strt draw or paired the 6 in addition to the flush draw, I would call.

Well, if you call and win, you might tilt him so much he leaves.
You can definitly find a better spot to put your money in. Especially so damn much of it.

i saw a crazy hand at 15/30 NL HU where someone went allin at the flop (way overbetting) with a FD and gutshot (with 74s).. his op called with nothing but queen high... now that was some read.. you will have to be extremly confident in your reads imo and only if you've seen him make this move with unmade hands could you really consider making this play?

Well i ended up thinking for a bit and calling. I felt my read was right and my ace high was good. i put him on something like QT, KT, KJ.
he showed :Qh: :Jd:
making me a 70% favorite to win a monster hand.
Turn brings the :Kh:
(ouch!)
River brings 
so overall i lost a monster pot but i was happy with my play. correctly read him and made a very tough call to put me as a huge favorite in this $2,000 pot. didnt work my way this time, but you can bet next time ill do the same thing.
