NLTRN - Halp! How to handle spewtards?

[bpmst2]

tmcdmck very good advice. bet flop. check turn scared. induce a river bluff. $$ in the bank

Betting a weird amount is bad though. I see people bet weird amounts for the first time in a game all the time and it's almost always the nuts.

If that's the case maybe I need to play some more FTP.

chicagory, I agree that betting a weird amount is often very strong (though definitely not always the nuts) BUT spewdonks tend to interpret it the other way. You know how in Caro's book of tells he suggests people are looking to call, and to induce a call do something odd that makes them suspicious, as this will usually result in them making the call? I feel funny bet sizing is the same against spewdonks who are looking for spots to be aggro.

Ok, example:

This guy hadn't folded his bb all game, and just folded once to my cbet. wtf do I do with this hand?

Is this the first time he shoved you?

I am interested about what happened earlier.

[Landonfan]

No. He had made a bunch of minbets, some PSBs, and a couple of 2x pot bets, but no shoves. He had shown down both air and good hands when minbetting, but I hadn't called down anything else.

[tmcdmck]

looks alot like a turned straight as played by a moron to me, but i am not expecting much agreement from others.

[Vinetou]

This line looks strong to me too. I don't think it is a bluff.
