Hi Guys,

When playing cash games there is that one Russian or Ukrainian guy who joins the table and raises around 10 rounds with half of his stack. Everybody folds and then this guy is gone. If I do the same there will be somebody calling me on the very next hand and I will be gone but it seems like those guys know that nobody has better hand. Any ideas how to play against such "players"? I know most of you will say "Wait for the perfect hand and go all-in" but there isn't time to wait since this guy comes takes the money from blinds and everybody who decided to call and he is gone.

If he does that ten times in a row he is expanding his range a lot and it is impossible that in the ten times he would have had good hands, with a rank like that would go all in with an Ace or a King with a medium kicker but if I end up winning with trash it would be bad luck

I would quit and reload my chip stack to shortstack like 10-15BB.

perfect situation&perfect target to play shortstack stratergy.

and when Double UP , I instant quit and reload my stack to shortstack/ put my winning into my pocket, again, and do it over and over again...if he plays like this.<-- I will mark him and follow him everywhere on the table regardless where he sits.

This was exactly my thought. I would look for him at all the tables, buy in for the minimum and look to double up with a wide range, then repeat.

With these guys you need to play a hands-up. Their egos will not allow them to refuse. Tested more than once :)
