I made some calls which are "good calls" if villain is ever bluffing but villains are never bluffing in these spots at 5nlz unless they are obviously bluffing far too much all the time etc. Then just some slight tilt-overvaluing hands I imagine nothing ridiculously spewy but if you run into a few of those spots it adds up.

Here is an example.

Poker Stars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.05 BB (6 handed) - Converted at http://www.handhistoryconverter.com

Button ($14.79) Weaker passive player calling too wide etc, not betting enough
Hero (SB) ($5.41)
BB ($10.75)
UTG ($12.95) Aggo fish
MP ($4.93) Unknown
CO ($5.69)

Preflop: Hero is SB with Q, J
UTG raises $0.15, MP calls $0.15, 1 fold, Button calls $0.15, Hero calls $0.13, 1 fold

Flop: ($0.65) J, Q, 3 (4 players)
Hero checks, UTG checks, MP bets $0.62, 1 fold, Hero raises $5.26 (All-In), 1 fold, MP calls $4.16 (All-In)

Turn: ($10.21) K (2 players, 2 all-in)

River: ($10.21) 9 (2 players, 2 all-in)

Total pot: $10.21

Results:
Spoiler:

Hero had Q, J (two pair, Queens and Jacks).
MP had Q, Q (three of a kind, Queens).
Outcome: MP won $9.79


It's pretty annoying to run into one combo but at the same time when villain does this he's very strong and shoving just gives him the chance to fold anything he may be doing this with like AQ, KQ and he probably doesn't play those hands this way that often. I mean I'm losing money in this spot anyway but it's losing money playing poorly.
