the fish wasn't really much of an issue but the maniac was playing this MTT like someone who is playing a turbo, my concern is that if i miss the A or K because i'm questioning weather or not to protect my chips from the maniac who will do all he can to take the chips away but the other side to the coin is i don't want to loose out to a fish.

    i would reraise pre especially how you describe the table.

    happy to get it all in pre v a maniac with ak.

    By calling 1st hand you more or less guaranteed 4 way action with ak which is not where we want to be.

    cant see your stack size which may affect advice.

    people who are considered fish are those i've seen limping and calling consistantly.

    it's got nothing to do with wins or losses and infact i love fish long term because they will give me losts of cash and lots of chip, the difference with this MTT is it's not about getting 1st place it's about preserving chips and getting past the bubble, fish i can see folding a lot of the time of A high or K high flops.

    my main issue was not the fish it was the maniac because sats are about preserving chips not using them, so if i missed the A or K on flop, i'll likely have to give up or do the risky shove.

    In a satellite I think calling is fine in both spots.
