That means you have 100bb's and can play accordingly.
So if he opens shoves for $1000, we can just assume we're playing a $500/$1000 game for a 1bb pot and play accordingly? That doesn't make any sense.
Maybe I'm not understanding exactly how maniac this guy is, but anyone who gets in 500bbs preflop without AA/KK is like king of the maniacs. Or is everyone else here playing in games where everyone is sitting with 500+bbs and getting it all-in preflop with a wide range like it is no big deal?
So, for those who are 3betting, are you playing for stacks preflop or are you folding? Folding just seems so sucky when 1/8 times we flop a monster that will probably win a 500bb stack postflop.
As for missing value due to not 3betting preflop, we'll be in position postflop, almost certainly HU (or what, we're expecting others to come along for the ride behind us?) and can almost just meekly bluffcatch our way to victory over 3 postflop streets for more than enough value if we see fit.
