Default Re: Optimally countering deliberate spite calls

Just tighten your pushing range a bit.

But then they have succeeded in making me give up EV in the long term by deliberately spite calling me in the short term.

Consider a table full of 10 players all playing the same optimal strategy (where none can win/lose anything from anybody else) and one decides to start spite calling another. If you simply back down and start pushing less into the player who is deliberately spite calling you then you lose and they gain in the long run.
