Against this guy I would just call him down and not raise the flop since they're only calling with trips and folding things we beat which they would have continued to put more money in with.
OMC's come in forms other than nits. For instance:

Yep, that comports to what I've seen from many OMC's.

While many OMC's are nitty, the more defining quality is that they LOVE to slow-play when they do enter a pot, so it's advanced age + reliable passivity that defines the OMC more than how tight they are, IMNSHO. I've seen OMC's VPIP with all sorts of hands, especially when they're defending their BB.

You can almost hear their thoughts, "I'll teach this young whipper-snapper what happens when they always raise and never limp..."

In this instance, apparently V didn't have trips when he called SB's donk bet, since he folded the river, when trips would have been a boat. If he's calling the donk lead with something other than trips, he might also call a raise. Doubtful he's folding many over-pairs to the board, or too many NFD's or combo draws.

If he's folding hands we beat, that's also fine, since we're denying equity from his draws and worse PP's that could catch up.

Im positive that the old man had some kind of combo draw by the way he threw his cards up and huffed like he couldnt believe everything missed.

I actually played little bit more w him tonight. What was interesting is that I watched him on 2 separate occasions flat call a raise preflop, one of the hands was flat, then reflat after 3bet, and on both hands he then donked out basically full pot on lowish connected boards, then kept betting turn and river and showed down pocket queens both times. On one of those hands turn brought a king and one of them turn brought a straight and he still kept betting huge. So i know his modus operandi now.

Calling "going broke with any big pair" a "modus operandi" almost makes him sound smart.

So... that's nice of you.

Well hes probably a WW2 veteran so he gets some respeck. Man I doubled up w AA last night, but there were so many active fish donating and I could just not get a hand to play vs them except flopping a set once and getting runner runnered vs straight.
