Villain is one of the more absurd players I've ever played against. He's running 30/28 or something with 30% 3-bet over a meaningful sample of 159 hands. I have shoved over his 3b's three times with pairs and doubled with AA>22 and a flip with 88 vs AJ an orbit prior.

He has quadrupled my stack and I can sense the steam emanating from him. This is the final two tables.

What is your plan preflop? In game I just spite called him because spite calling is fun.

with this history i just openfold pre, cause he will ship a ridic % of hands vs your open here and i dont want to call in such a marginal spot, cause he will spew to you sooner or later

9k/f

Might be fold pre

limp

Limp shove?

this seems a good spot to raise/4bet all in. no?

seems perfect vs a 30% 3bettor... why nobody said this?

i'm all in its teh ft bubb how can he call

bcs villain 3b shoves here a lot

i like here to limp/shove

Raise, induce that 3bet and then ship it in his face.

if hes tilted and going to shove a super wide range why not just get it in?

Limp to see a flop, limp/shove if he raises anything, or raise small and 4bet-shove. Fold if he 3bet shoves. You are not dominating anything and are most likely up against 2 live cards. I prefer giving myself some fold equity, even against a hand like T8s and take 10-20% of his stack (including antes) uncontested pre than a 58-42 for full stacks. Plus he might have YOU dominated. He might fold a small range of hands that has you dominated if you 4bet shove.

fold as played. limp the first time.

My first thought was limp. If he shoves, call. If he raises, shove.

Meh....nh
