Re: How to respond to a frequent re-stealer
When you call his 3bet, it makes no difference whether you're IP or OOP. You're gonna fold or shove over his cb anyway.
4betting small could work, but I don't seem to get too many folds when I try it, and 4betting big commits you. 4bet shoving is ok, but a bit of an overbet that rarely gets called. If you're gonna do that, then I think you have to do it A LOT to exploit the fact that he won't call off 90% of his stack. Hello variance.
With that said, I agree with calling and then shoving most flops. Obviously shoving overs, draws, TP, OP's is good, but what I'm curious about is stuff like mid pair. I think we need to be shoving these as well, seeing as we usually have 5 outs + FE + we may actually have the best hand. In fact we should probably be shoving any pair against this type of villain, because when he calls, we're gonna be behind with mid pairs and sometimes even TP. Therefore, the value of all these hands seem to be the same.
