Just curious...what are you willing to stack off on when you have 2-3 players going all in every hand...
This is the third or fourth table I've run into in the last month where this happens...serious tilt, someone logging into daddy's account, whatever...
So I'm curious...if you have 2-3 of them playing this way, reloading every time, and assuming someone else on the table hasn't called them...
What's the minimum you will stack off with?

hmm if its 2-3 people i'm not sure because either way its going to be high variance, i may actually just leave or play super tight til its only 1-2 players.
if its 1 player then any PP, any A,K8+,Q9+,JT... maybe idk because it never happened to me

These are cash ring games...
I pretty much play them super tight and only call with A10+, 1010+ and pick up 5-6 BB before they run out of steam or money, or Dad finds them on their account...*laugh*
That should read 5-6 buy ins...

AT+, 99+ if it's only one player doing it.
QQ+,AK if its 3 players.
This is very high variance but if you know you are ahead, why not try to quadruple up by risking 1 buy-in?

HU depends on my mood I might be calling with like KQs but usually aq ak 99 and up I don't like risking it with anything below these

oh its EXTREME variance...
I was more curious how others handled it...The more input the better and all that.
Great way to bankroll build if you are willing to gamble. I think today it went around 15-20 circuits before they called it quits. All in every hand. The third guy quit after about 8 circuits when I'm guessing he caught up to his earlier losses.
Thankfully I am doing this for fun...and the beats don't hurt my feelings any. I made 6 buy ins today, being careful and choosing my spots. I let their bankroll determine how much risk i was willing to take. If they had built it up to 2.5 big buy ins I tightened way up, when they reloaded I was alot less choosy. I still only played 7 hands...*laugh*

If 2 players go all-in every hand and they've done it enough you know they're doing it with any 2 cards or you know for some other reason and no one else has called and you are last to act then call with anything that has more than 33% equity vs. 2 random hands. I believe:
33+,A2+,K2s+,K5o+,Q4s+,Q8o+,J6s+,J8o+,T7s+,T8o+,97 s+
If there are other players who have called or players left to act behind you or you aren't sure they're both shoving any 2 cards then you need to adjust for that.
For 3 people do the same thing but with 25% equity vs. 3 random hands.
P.S.
You might also be able to make an argument if you're like really deep with them like 5 or 6 BI's and you have a hand with 34% equity and if you lose one of them will be deep but you no longer will be so maybe you want more equity in that situation.
Also some people may take into account variance but hopefully you have a big enough roll that you don't have to.
