I just want to say that I am completely sick of seeing these 20BB donks playing online. the ones that call your pfr and go all in on flop. or just re-raise you all in. with anything from 88+, AJ AQ, AK.

these jackasses drive me crazy cause their 20BB are barely worth anything, and often it the right call to call them for example you have
JJ and raise, they go all in. How do u not call them. they can be a head, they can be behind
or even when you have AK or AQ. there is a good chance they are going all in with 88-jj giving you a 46:54 chance you have to call with money already in the pot. damn I hate these fuckers

almost all of them suck. this means that you should be making money off them. Sure it would be better to have a full stack fish but I'm happy to slowly take money away from these guys instead.

It's easy. Most of them play 5/5 preflop which is TT+, AQs+, AKo. Just pokerstove your hand vrs that range to figure out the pot odds you need if they 3-bet you AI.

When they flat call, I just lead at them for 5 bbs as my last action on the hand unless I think I'm ahead. They usually fold or push making my decision easy.

They only aggravate me if they're 2 behind or 2 ahead of me on the table. I'm more than happy to see 20bb stacks seated across the table from me.

Smithers, use the amnesia ray.
You mean the revolver, sir?
Precisely.

I usually just leave the table if more than one is within 4 seats to my left.

Free money if you figure them out. Try short stacking for a week and get the feel of what it is they do.

I have tried short stacking. it is so boring. many of the calls you end up making against them it becomes close to even money based of poker stove. If I wanted to do that I would just go all in with every PP I have. oh wait, that is what they do
