So, this opponent has taken about a dozen small pots by over shoving. I figure he is doing these shoves with all sorts of hands, ranging from middle pair, top pair, and heavy draws. I am sure he is thinking that I am missing a whole bunch and I think he thinks I am dumping all of my draws. I also feel that he is shoving on cold bluffs, not that I was able to call yet.

With the blinds getting so high, is he getting desperate yet?

if he actually has done that around a dozen times Im snapcalling this.

How often exactly and in which situations is kinda important to know.

Against the described villain I call here and am almost always ahead.

Against the ones who aren't shoving normally you are almost always crushed here.

Edit: Be sure to tell him "ty" so he gets angry and keeps doing it.

like these guys have said, his high overbetting frequency should give you some clue as to his range. if he's really donk overbetting this frequently i think it's a clear call.

also, you might want to reexamine your preflop play. you're putting a lot of money in the middle which might make it correct for your opponent to shove a lot of flops. i'd consider limping or raising to 100-125 depending on how loose he's been oop.

Is okay for him to overshove 3x the flop with a stupid wide range of hands?

The pot would be 200 to 250, does the 50 make a huge difference? I guess he is overshoving 4 to 5x the pot now. Either way, he is overshoving, perhaps moving my margin of error 5 to 10%?

Please elaborate.
