Another question.. How

Do you deal with someone who no matter what calls a pre-flop raise no matter what cards he has or what position they are in?
This person also calls continuation bets...

How would you proceed with such a donkey??
Would you make your pre-flop raises stronger?
Limp in more or go a tad more tighter?
I've seen quite a few like these.. Just playing cause they have no care in the world about what cards they have.

Just curious as to how others deal with someone like that besides the stay tight avenue.

My advice on how to handle such players...

Don't attempt to bluff them.

Be aware that you don't have to hold the nuts to win (i.e. 2nd or 3rd pair may be best).

Bet for value, don't get tricky and pull check-raises and such. Jus tplay solid, straighforward poker, and again DON"T BLUFF at these players.

You do what you do with every passive and loose player: You raise. See how much you can charge them for playing anything suited preflop. Presuming that you have the better hand, you should be happy that they call.

This is what I did in a recent tournament where one player PLAYED EVERY HAND pre-flop and called most hands at the river. It was truly amazing.

This is someone you can make money off if they stay around for any length of time. You have to play only top quality hands. but when you get paid it will be worth waiting. The problem I find is these people don't stay at one table too long. They tend to take your blinds and run. not much you can do about that.
