ok, villain is 3 betting virtually every hand i open with from all positions. his blind steal attempt is over 90%. i am opening solid hands but whiffing on 75% of flops and c/f a lot, with an occasional CR w/ air or bot2pr. i have 4 bet him 1x w/ a QJ109 and whiffed the flop. he shows no sign of cooling down the 3bets. on hands that i have min raised his 3 bets he tends to play a little more straight forward. lot of metagame now, showing bluffs etc.

let him steal your blinds before reraising with this junk
or move to other table since you let this guy get to you obv

easy fold preflop IMO, makes no sense to 3-bet a garbage hand like this OOP against a monkey.

Three bet your hands in position and out of the blinds with only very strong holdings.
Double suited rundowns, AAxx, KKAxs, etc...

Table select better as you obviously cannot handle this type of aggression.

Also if you are going to do this "subpar" play out of position, plz do not donk bet out with such weak hands. Your play is so exploitable especially since you call a raise on this horrible flop.

i see what you did here :3

im making such error a lot at PLO25 as some1 probaby noticed.
you probably trying to contstruct big pot agaisnt donk to allow him make big mistake when you flop good. unfortunately you wouldnt flop good often with this hand, and moreover pot size wouldnt be high enough with your mini-reraise. so if you gonna "catch him" try it with bigger raise and then shove on a good flop. but its very riskable and variance strategy.

about your turn play - looks like you're just giving money away with such action. this T hvnt changed anything much, cause all wraps still dead and you're mostly repping TT or KK-66-33 with this turn. depending of your stats, it would be snap reraise from the villian with as bad as K3-K6 hand, and your straight flush draw a bit doggy to it.

If you're gonna play it like this, 3-bet the flop and get it all-in

Hi

i would just have called preflop. U got a rather weak hand and will be OOP, but it is ok not to give credit to your maniac UTG.

You hit the flop rather nicely in view of your hand, but would have checked and called the villains probable pot bet >> try to control the pot size.

turn gives you weak flush draw, so if u think it is good, check raise your villain massively and pray to hit the river.

Overall, to handle such guys, wait to be in position, its a lot easier to play these maniacs and gut him with a good hand, not semi-garbage like this were you do not know where you stand after the villains bets

If you are going to 3-bet with garbage, do it in position.

Here OOP, if you want to try it, which I don't recomment, mash a full pot RR, instead of bloating the pot with a min raise OOP.

Then you can get it in on the flop/turn, and hope to hit, or garner some FE.
