KINGPIN is somewhere between LAGG and maniac. He'll raise any two and reraise and push pre and post flop. There are two problems I see:
1. His range is huge, so if he pushes the flop I just have to call. This really isn't that much of a problem when holding KK but if an Ace falls - I think I still may call.
2. He gets callers because everyone is used to his raises.

Therefore, I raise it to $2 to isolate him knowing this isn't a good spot to trap. His tiny reraise was telling me he'll go higher. That bet makes zero sense to me...but that's him. I figure reraising him big would get him to call or push. Then...wtf? He folds.

Is my logic above correct here against a borderline maniac or did I just miss some free money?
