Misclicked instead of shoving flop. End result is equally lame.

Once he gets this deep/before he gets this deep I would just request to open a new table. You are getting it in with pretty close equity over and over again. Let's say you get it in as a 67% fav three times, win twice and lose the third. You will still be down $50. It's giving your opponent an unnecessary edge.

EV is EV. a few of us wrongfully thought this was true before catyoul came in and laid down the hammer on us. makes no difference whatsoever what the stacks are

well lets say he gets it in with 67% and wins 3 times in a row, he has now made 350 buck instead of 150

Yea stack deeps just increase variance, which is fine as long as you have enough money for the stakes you play. Also, the fun ev goes waaaay up!

Actually Daut I think barbieman has a fair point even if Ev is Ev but the depth of stacks for sure gives a psycho-aggro player an advantage in my opinion.

This guy would consistently call flop and then check re-bluff turn. I'd have a hand like two pair or top pair with FD. Most of the time the best hand against his crazy spazz BS but the problem is of course around 10-20% of the time he's actually going to have a monster hand and then I'm back to square one. So it's either lose a 50$ pot by folding to his re-bluff or re-push and pray to dodge the 10-20% over and over.

The second problem is as already pointed out. It's simple Martingale. If he has an infinite stack and shoves every hand I can't win. As stated even if I get it in as a 60-70% favorite 3-4 times in a row odds are he's going to pick off one of those pots and I'm back to square one. EV might be EV but it clearly becomes an advantage when villain can happy-shove all strong draws and constantly put me in high pressure spots with marginal holdings. He can create marginal flip situations and either run me over by picking up a ton of equity when I'm forced to fold or LOL to the bank when he wins one of the flips and I'm back to square one.

I think I've finally figured out a playing style for dealing with this type of aggro-donk but we'll see...
