any ideas on how best to play heads up against a maniac who raises all in on 5 out of every 6 hands. This guy admittedly is a poor player who doesn't want to be heads up with me, but I wasn't catching any hands and the blinds were killing me.

Blinds were 600-1200 and chip stacks were near even at about 15000 a piece

I would have really liked to had seen a flop before committing to an all in, cause i know this guy is a scrub, but he wasn't letting me...finally after being blinded down to about 8500 I went all in and lost with K9 suited.....guess his plan worked, so who's the hack...

gamble hwen he pushes with Q8/9 and lots of Ks and obv any ace.

blinds are sick high and you have hardly any chips to play with, you'll just have to gamble with him.

you can't take flops with 15k and 1.2k bb.

^^^ What he said ^^^

With high blinds, it's impossible to beat his strategy with any kind of decent edge. You just have to wait for a pair, a mid queen or almost any king/ace.
You need to push your button with an even wider range. Suited connectors become pushing hands.

I was really catching a bad run of cards, maybe the occassional Q3 off but no suited connectors, no pairs..and I really hated to push with complete crap

I'd say Q3o is good enough if you are the button. My pushing range would be something like:
Any A,
Any K,
Any Q,
J6o+,
J4s+,
T7o+,
T6s+,
offsuit connectors down to 67,
suited connectors and one gap connectors down to 65s and 75s.

If the blinds got any higher it would be almost any 2 cards.
