EDIT: Never mind, they were calling everything so when I got pocket aces I shoved and doubled up. got my money back (called with jack9)



King queen suited on the button

80 cent stack. raised it to 8 cent.
36 cent stack shoved. (i folded)

should I call?

every raise I put in gets someone shoving. (nearly all of my raises)

Im playing tight. I called twice with solid hands (ace king ace queen etc) and got sucked out by a big stack going all in,

What do I do to combat this, they are shoving with 6 2 suited and win with 6 2 on the flop,

some guy shoved 10 6 of diamonds and hit a flush on the flop,

1. Make a note of them and color them separately so they stand out.
2. Play with them at every opportunity and get it in with big PPs and AK/AQ.
3. Profit by winning 70% of the time.

I second that. Just make a note of them, essentially it's just putting an X on their back.

However, I will add one more thing: Try to sit in position against them. That way you won't have to invest a penny before they decide to over-shove the pot pre-flop.

^^ Excellent advice thanks guys!

I have turned the tables on these people. with their tendencies to call everything.
The moment I have the nuts (flopping a straight with no flush draw etc)
I shove all in. You would be suprised at how many times you get called with mid pair top kicker.
Sitting down at a table with 60 cent and Im now at $2.26 after 16 hands.
(only 5 wins) isnt to shabby.

My goal is to conquer 2nl before I move up (wasted a big amount of my bank roll with my eyes being bigger than my head)
rebuild my bankroll to above its former (tiny)glory.
