What ever strategy articles these guys are learning from, it seems to tell them to basically 3bet tags steal attempts who fold a lot to 3bets - ie, ME, with basically any two cards and cbet the flop 100% of the time.
Hence the weird looking preflop calls and weirder looking flop shoves. It seems crazy but it works and I absolutely destroy the 40bb stackers at 25NL. I used to combat their 3bets by 4betting super wide but I've learned that flatting them and shoving over their cbets is wayyyy more profitable since
a) we have more fold
equity on the flop because they miss 2/3 of the time so will fold stuff that they 3bet you with like AJ on the flop whereas they'll stack off with that pre, and
b) there is twice as much dead money.
What I find really amazing is that these guys don't seem to ever adjust. You would think that they would learn not to 3bet me so damn wide. Sometimes with them on my left I'll open up complete trash like J2o because I want them to 3bet me so I can flat and crai otf
