Playing 50 nl on Bovada. I would say there are more than a fair share of players who like to 3b almost once every orbit from the blinds. Being anonymous tables at first I give them some credit but about the 3rd or fourth time in a row (and seeing q5s, j7s at showdowns in these pots) I start calling with a lot of medium strength and marginal hands in position or 4 betting oop. Is it more optimal to just 4bet instead of call these players ip with marginal hands (qt, qj, kt, kj, at, 66-99,sc, at) or to see a flop and look to hit or take the pot away on most flops?

Depends on your playstyle. Flatting is almost always the better play as these players tend to be weaker in their postflop skill. If you're uncomfortable playing 3bet pots, then you can start 4betting a polarized range.

dont start playing too loose. just bet more. or even move in at them with better hands. see what they do.
