This guy is on tilt and has pushed for his stack preflop the last 6 hands. I settled on a hand range of A9+, 99+, KQ. I pick up A10 and once again he's all in. With only one limper behind me, I push to isolate and to my surprise, the limper calls as well. What's going on here? Should I have picked a better spot?

jackvance is an unknown quantity at this point
 You lucked out of this one, but you got trapped there. I personally would indeed wait for a better spot. Unless I had already made a ton of money that day, then I'll gambool.

That guy had no business calling your push preflop with AJ. However, this is a sitcky situation because that guy could be trapping with a better hand than AJ because he knows the shorstack will push and he wants dead money. If you know it's heads up, AT is not a bad hand to take this guy down with.

Since AJ guy is acting before the idiot, he limps to incite the usual preflop push. He is afraid if he raises, the preflop pusher will fold out marginal hands. I do the same thing when acting in front of an auto-pusher.
His call of your hand is marginal, but could be considered correct, because of the wide range you will call a push with after 6 straight attempts. I would fold AJ in that situation, but he is a coinflip with most PP's the avg. player could call the idiot's push with.
I'm not saying he didn't make a mistake generally, but you made one too. You should tighten your calling range a little when your preflop decision doesn't close the action.
Playing live . . . thanks alot Bin Laden.

Why do you assume such a tight range? His range is probably any 2 if he pushed the last 6.

I think he meant that was his range for calling the push.
