The average pot size for the table in the period of time I was on it for plo25 was varying between $20-$60. About every other hand this guy was in he pushed the other player all in. He ran like a god and it was ridiculous. He was so deep stacked that if someone did double up on him once or twice he'd take it all back the 3rd time.
I did the equity calculations on the all-ins every hand preflop after the hand to see how it was going and the guy was playing any 4 cards against me. I never had less than 60% equity and there were hands I had over 70% where it was complete domination, and it didn't matter because he always hit.
The reason I made this thread was because maybe I was strategically playing incorrectly. Should I have been focusing more on postflop play rather than taking my preflop percentage because the guy never missed. The only pots I actually won were where the aces hit trips and even then the other guy showed down either 2 pair or lower trips.
This is me probably just being way to results orientated as I had just moved up to plo25 the day prior as a shot where I was willing to do a 10 buy-in loss and drop back down. It just felt insane that anyone could run that well so I figured I was the one doing something wrong.
In fact you should be happy. Lets say: 10 times you get is allin against him with 65% average with a full stack. That means: 10x(65%x50$-25$)=10x(32,5$-25$)=75$ is your "win".
Keep going same way. Starting to play him postflop would make you loose more i think. Sounds like he would put always so much pressure on you that you would be folding too much and throw a lot of equity away. The upswing will come some day. ;-)
