I always feel compelled to call here.......

Hero raises to 3x BB with 2s-9s then some donktard who's running at like 50/40 and pushing every 4th hand thats raised, raises all in for 40+ BBs.

If he is pushing every 4th hand call here. If he is pushing every 7th or 8th hand, fold. Your hand does well against the top 25% but poorly against the top 12.5% of hands.

I usually fold these thinking that I will get a better chance to stack him later on if he pushes as much as you said. Patience.

I love what you said here. Every player should read this over and over until it is sketched in their brain. Great post there.

Really, I very much don't.
I insta call this all day long

[Spurious]

Why arent you fullstacked?

I think calling is marginal. If he does that every 4th hand i'm calling this from time to time, depending on my mood.

for the past 22K hands or so i've been buying in short, and my ptbb/100 has went UP from around 6.5/100 to 11.2/100. Not to say that I ALWAYS buy in short now, as it really depends on the table, but i'd say to start I'll buy short about 60-75% of the time.

I insta fold this all day long. Can you explain to me why you are calling this?

edit: I fold for this reason. Just because some guy is 50/40 and pushing every 4th hand doesn't mean you need to start calling his all-ins with marginal holdings

I call this all day long becomes I think it is +ev to call thats why
Lets say you are up against the top 20% of hands. Why did I pick this well because I think this is a reasonable range for someone who pushes every 4 hands

If he's lterally shoving as much as you say, I call here all day, especially since he only has a little over 50BBs.

This guy is just asking to give his money away, I take the opportunity before someone else at the table does and he leaves. If he has one of the 6 starting hands we fear, then its no biggy, shrug and reload and let him continue to play badly with a full stack.

Those saying fold sound like they are underolled, or are afraid of variance. To hell with variance, if a call is +EV I'm making it.
