playing against ratholers

[SilentNoise]

why has nobody mentioned getting sngwiz and playing around with ranges?(make sure its on chipEV mode not $ev mode)

sngpt is okay too, but you cant analyse the profitability of resteals with that. with sngwiz you can.

I don't see how playing against SSer's is really that difficult. Just adjust your postflop play and be aware of what hands you are opening against them. If I see 2 guys to my left that are short-stacked, I won't bother opening hands like sooted connectors, low pairs, etc. most times. The implied odds aren't there, and you know they are not folding much on the flop to your c-bet. Also, punish them preflop with your good hands, and try to force them to calling off with marginal hands on the flop.

Yea, its obviously worth it to blind steal, but thats true in any case. Do this a few times and see how likely they are to push back at you. Give them credit for a while, and if they do it often enough, just loosen up your calling requirements.
