See these players now and again who full pot as their standard bet. Quite often they run tables over with their aggression and big pots they create.
Are these players just aggro donks?
Thing is some of them seem to know what they're doing, for example they still 3-bet/4-bet pre really tight and when tilted opponents who are sick of being overrun play back at them pre, they will get paid off fairly easily with their KK and AA.
They're annoying to play against and you need to face pretty big variance, some will often triple barrel full pot with any pair, so most of the time were not even comfortable calling with TPTK by the river, or I certainly am not comfortable.
Chasing draws against them seems tricky since they're betting such large amounts. And in situations when we do raise them, it's pretty obvious that we have them beat, so they can easily fold.
bluff raising them means bluffing off huge amounts as their bet is pot size to begin with.
What do you make of them? How do you choose combat them?
We can slow play I guess... but say you X/c TPTK to the river, then another pot size river bet comes in a pretty wet board, are we happy calling off?
Some aren't stupid, they will choose decent cards pre to play and some even play positionally I've noticed.
