CO is a nutter and is calling just about every raise i make, 64/15/3. We played a pot about 30 mins before this where i had raised a10 and called a flop & river bet unimproved which was good against 9 high.

Were his bets half-pot in the previous hands? I think you have to call the river, obviously a lot of hands beat you, but villains like this have air so often here I don't think you can fold.

I think preflop is interesting, this would normally be a standardish raise, but unless the CO has been folding to c-bets a lot, I don't know that I want to be playing small suited connectors here OOP.

Edited to add: I think the presence of player like this should alter our range to be more weighted to hands that can make top pair often far more than one's that make a stronger hand, but more rarely.
